Matches, Flumes, and Rails: The Diamond Match Co. in the High Sierra offers a meticulously researched history of the Diamond Match Company's operations in California's High Sierra, focusing on the lumber industry, logging railroads, and the complex flume systems that carried timber to the mills. Richly illustrated with historic photographs, maps, and technical details, the book provides a rare window into the intersection of industrial ingenuity, logging practices, and railroading in the American West. This title is prized by collectors of railroad and logging history for its documentation of a seldom-covered subject and its contribution to the broader narrative of California industrial and transportation history. Scarcer than many regional rail titles, it stands out as both a specialized reference and a desirable collectible volume. Jacket has slight tear at left bottom corner.
