In the early spring of 1872 an article, "The Lumber Regions," appeared in the The Evening Gazette summarizing, in millions of board feet of lumber, the state of the industry in the Upper Delaware River Valley.

The following compilation of newspaper transcripts and maps of lumber mills within the watershed will, I hope, give the reader some idea of the #lumberIndustry and dangers of #rafting down the #DelawareRiver in late #19thCentury #America.

How’s everyone doing this evening (east coast time, USA, for me)? My day was enlivened by …

1. observing archeologists assembling broken objects with such care and good humor that made made me feel like everything broken in my life is really ok;
2. a lunchtime exploration of the intertidal / industrial Delaware River which made me all the more aware of the importance of urban planners ahead of sea level rise for intertidal estuarine communities;
3. inspired by a (yet another) realization that what is going on simply is a passing moment, somehow punctuated by an excellent phone call with my dad (80+) about Mastodon (he gets it).
