This black and white image of a training hauling logs from an East Texas forest is dated circa 1910. The advent of the railroad connected East Texas timber - and the forestry products manufactured from the timber - to global markets. The rise of the timber/lumber industry also offered higher paying jobs to those who'd formerly worked as sharecroppers or tenant farmers. | Creator: Unknown. | Date: 1910. | Source: Source:  East Texas History Center.  https://thcdev.imgix.net/uploads/exhibits/Temple_No_6_with_logtrainloader_ca1910_watermark.jpg?fit=clip&fm=jpg&q=80&s=73277c719934b1a4d4ec578036a02094 | Rights: Image available on the Internet and included for instructional purposes in accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.
