Abstract: By contrast with Eastern Canada, it took a long time for mechanized systems to transform woods work in the American Southeast. The Southeast experienced a more episodic, delayed and less complex transformation of woods work, one marked by ‘making do”, incremental innovations, simpler systems, a reliance on the adaptation of ideas and machines developed elsewhere, and the tendency for a single harvesting system to dominate use over long periods of time.
