This image gives us a detailed view of a family-owned lumber camp, located on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. A close look shows us that many of the crew are quite young.

Aaron Ross Vorhies, the owner of the operation, would have also been quite young in 1905, having been born in 1878. He may well be the man in light colored clothing in the front row. I image some of the other loggers are his relatives.
See detail view 1 for a closer look at some of the crew, and detail view 2 to see details of their steam donkey.
