VINTAGE PNW TIMBER
In 1910 Eric Holger Pearson arrived in Portland, Oregon to be re-united with his Swedish father, Eric Andreas who emigrated in 1903 and began working as a logging foreman the prominent Wisconsin Lumber and Timber, Co.
Eric Pearson, pictured as a 10 year old boy (far right) just after his arrival to the new land. He lived and went to school in remote logging camps just outside of Oak Point, WA. The Skookum Terrorists (as they were dubbed on a note pinned to the photo) experienced a rare and wild life in the Pacific Northwest wilderness. These developmental years would later shape Eric Holger Pearson's love and need for adventure as a photographer, conservationist and climber.
