Falk: Company Lumber Town of the American West

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of the industrial revolution, the narrative explores the rise and fall of Falk, a mill and lumber town that flourished from 1884 to 1937. Founded by Noah Falk and partners, the town thrived on affordable land and innovative logging technologies. Its population swelled with local and immigrant workers, creating a vibrant community of around 400. However, by the mid-20th century, Falk transformed into a ghost town, with its remnants now integrated into the Headwaters Forest Reserve, overseen by the Bureau of Land Management.
