  • Gyppo Logging in Humboldt County: a Boom-Bust Cycle on the California Forest Frontier
    GYPPO LOGGING IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY: A BOOM-BUST CYCLE ON THE CALIFORNIA FOREST FRONTIER by Kenneth Frederick Farnsworth, III A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts In Social Science: Geography July, 1996 GYPPO LOGGING IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY: A BOOM-BUST CYCLE ON THE CALIFORNIA FOREST FRONTIER by Kenneth Frederick Farnsworth, III Approved by: Joseph S. Leeper, Major Professor Paul W. Blank, Committee Member Christopher S. Haynes, Committee Member Gerald Sattinger, Graduate Coordinator, SBSS John P. Turner, Dean for Research and Graduate Studies ABSTRACT GYPPO LOGGING IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY: A BOOM-BUST CYCLE ON THE CALIFORNIA FOREST FRONTIER by Kenneth Frederick Farnsworth, III Discusses the rise and decline of the gyppo (small contract) logging and sawmill industry in Humboldt County, California between 1945 and 1965. Historical discussion of the role of large redwood companies, and transportation systems which they used, prior to 1945. Explains the land ownership patterns, resource diffusion of the primary resource (Douglas-fir), and emerging logging technology. This allowed gyppo contractors to rival the production of the established industry. Conclusion: too many mills harvested excessive amounts of old-growth Douglas-fir during the 1950's. Tightening log supply situation during the 1960's and 1970's drove most gyppo mills out of business, and reduced the employment potential of the forest products industry. Gyppo logging continues to be somewhat viable, working individual contracts for large, integrated forest products companies. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my appreciation to a few people who have been influential and helpful during the construction of my thesis.

  • The Legacy of the Log Boom Humboldt County Logging from 1945 to 1955 Logging in Humboldt County in Northwestern California Began in 1850
    Paul G. Wilson The Legacy of the Log Boom Humboldt County Logging from 1945 to 1955 Logging in Humboldt County in northwestern California began in 1850. When settlers first saw the giant old growth coast redwoods in Humboldt County they were in awe of them. These trees had diameters up to 30 feet and heights up to almost 400 feet. Old growth redwood trees are the oldest living things on earth; they can live about two thousand years. The settlers of Humboldt County had a respect for the redwoods; however, the settlers saw an immediate profit to be made. Old growth redwood lumber was used to build houses, railroad ties, shingle bolts, fence posts, and grape stakes.1 Redwood timberland in Humboldt County was located near the coast and extended twenty-five miles inland. The mills that cut the redwood logs into dimension sized lumber were located on the shores of Humbolt Bay. Humboldt Bay was a safe place for ocean vessels to pick up loads of redwood lumber to be sent to San Francisco Bay. Lumber vessels were often overloaded with redwood lumber. Because the vessels were piled with lumber, the vessels were believed to be unsinkable.2 Redwood lumber was sent all over the world for its preference in woodworking. In 1878 the United States government passed the Timber and Stone Act which allowed loggers to buy 160 acres of timberland for $2.50 per acre as long as the loggers "improved" the land through logging and ranching. Loggers acquired thousands of acres of redwood land and often formed partnerships to begin lumber companies.
