Logging has been a way of life in the Pacific Northwest, a thread woven into the character of communities, for more than a century. And in this far corner, Jim LeMonds' family has done about every job in the woods -- working as high climbers and whistle punks, chasers and gyppos, fallers, buckers, and chokers. In this book, LeMonds documents the dramatic changes in the timber industry over the last few decades through the life stories of his grandfathers, father, uncles, and cousins. The LeMonds family navigate their lives among towering virgin timber and massive layoffs, through years of unsustainable harvest levels and implementation of federal environmental restrictions, into backwoods logging camps and subsidized retraining programs for displaced workers. While spurning nostalgia for the cut-and-run days when timber was king, Deadfall attempts to view a future for timber workers who live each day on the physical, emotional, and economic edge.
