Murry Hammond is working to produce Rusty Rails & Dusty Trails history newsletters on various Hardin County subjects. In general, I am looking for photographs to illustrate the histories, and surviving family stories to personalize them. If you have any pictures or stories on the old log railroads or sawmill life that you would be willing to let us copy for our publication, I'd love to speak with you by mail or e-mail or telephone. Contact: Murry Hammond (click for e-Mail) or call anytime at 818-653-4626.
Here are our needs:
Honey Island and the Kirby Lumber Company. We are trying to produce a larger publication on this company's very interesting sawmill and railroad story. We have visited Honey Island twice, and did a small number of interviews. We wish to find more people that lived in the nearby Kirby log camps, and those that have roots in the Honey Island mill town.
Silsbee and the Kirby Lumber Company. As with the Honey Island project, I wish to devote a newsletter to the operations at Silsbee - log camps, mill town, and the comings and goings of the log trains.
Thank you!
