Owlett acknowledges the Pennsylvania Lumberman Museum in Sweden Valley, PA for this photo. However, the same photo is also in Thomas T. Taber, III "Sunset Along Susquehanna Waters", 1972, page 402. Taber says this photo was taken on the West Branch Susquehanna River near Westport in Clinton County in 1910 and credits the "Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission" |

| Other information |
Taken in 1905 or before as the last log drive on Pine Creek was then. While this is probably public domain in the US (either published before 1923 or life of author plus 70 years), there is no definite proof, hence the fair use claim. |

| Purpose of use |
The Lumber Era played an important role in the history of the Pine Creek gorge and the development of Leonard Harrison State Park, both of which are discussed extensively in the article. This historic photograph illustrates what the lumber rafts looked like and gives and idea of the size of trees cut in the 1800s and early 1900s. Neither exist today. |
| Replaceable? |
No. No log rafts like this have been made on Pine Creek in over 100 years and there is almost no virgin timber like this left in Pennsylvania. This is a unique image. |

| Purpose of use |
The Lumber Era played an important role in the history of the Pine Creek gorge and the development of Upper Pine Bottom State Park, both of which are discussed extensively in the article. Upper Pine Bottom Run is a tributary of Pine Creek, so it is possible that this raft includes lumber harvested there. In any case, this historic photograph illustrates what the lumber rafts looked like and gives and idea of the size of trees cut in the 1800s and early 1900s. Neither exist today. |
