Tells a story often overlooked in the history of the logging industry: the emergence of family-based, independent contract or “gyppo” loggers in the post-WW II timber economy...

Gyppo loggers exploited smaller, more accessible stands of timber during the 1950s.

My father, “Pop Wattenburg”, was among the best of the Gypo-Loggers (a term used to describe a logger with his own equipment, and who mostly acquired small timber sales).
http://valleviews2.com/scrapbook/Logging/pop.htm
The loggers that moved the timber to the mills were called Gypo-loggers. Being a "Gypo" meant that you did logging by contract and got paid by the thousand board feet of timber that was delivered to the mill. So the loggers got paid only for what they produced. Most of the logging contracts were done on a bid. Like is usual with contracting, some Gypo's bid too low. They had to work very economically to make ends meet.
