In this audio interview, Morris Monteith talks about his father, Eugene Monteith and the work he did with W.C. Hennessee in the 1930s. He logged with a stiff neck skidder and a HD 6 Allis Chalmers dozer and then moved onto the road building crew. Baker and Monteith discuss how thinking about logging has changed over the decades. This interview, along with others, was created by long-time forester, Tom Baker. Baker interviewed men who worked in the timber industry to create an oral history of logging operations in western North Carolina. Included with each interview is a transcript of the audio file.
