Book excerpt: "'Logging Railroads along the Pemigewasset River' by retired forester and longtime rail buff Bill Gove tells the fascinating story of the golden age of lumbering and railroading in the Pemigewasset River Valley of New Hampshire's White Mountains. Based on more than three decades of research, Gove's book examines the history of the various logging operations that worked the Pemi watershed for a period of nearly 50 years. Among the logging railroads covered are the Gordon Pond, Woodstock & Thornton Gore, and Beebe River Railroads, plus the timberland operations of the Johnson Lumber Company, Woodstock Lumber Company, W.D. Veazey and Company, and Parker Young Company." --Publisher's description.
