An Early Purdy Brothers Logging Episode

Frank Phelps at Soda Springs with a one log load, 1949—Leroy Purdy

In 1948, James and Leroy Purdy formed Purdy Brothers Logging Company. During their early years of operation they did extensive logging around theTruckee region. Since today, marks my father’s birthday (Leroy) I just waned to share two pictures taken in 1949 while they were logging at Soda Springs. After all, one does not see that many photographs of one log loads!

On the way to the mill.

  1. Purdy brothers were good friends with my Dad Claude Germyn – he mentioned them a few times. Great pics! Thank you.
