    [synopsis] => This book is about African American loggers who came to Oregon during the Great Migration of more than six million African Americans from the Jim Crow south to the north. They began arriving in Maxville, a railroad-logging town in Wallowa County owned by the Bowman Hicks Lumber Company. They first arrived in 1923 and continued to come until the mid-1940s.
Chapters one and two document the migration from historical newspapers, public records, local photo archives, and oral history sources. The third chapter introduces the six extended families and their southern roots. The fourth chapter contains the fifteen descendants' memories — beginning with the memoir of one of the logger followed by the memories of fifteen descendants of the six families.
