Logging Crew & Steam Donkey near Sandy - c. 1910

The crew relaxes for their photo for a postcard by H. M. Douglass, part of a set of three logging scenes from the Sandy, Oregon area.

Detail view 1 gives us a closer view of the steam donkey -- it's operators protected from the Oregon weather by a roof of wood and corrugated metal. The logger in front may have been a part-timer, as the typical outfit of cut-off jeans and suspenders is replaced here by overalls with their legs rolled up.
