Join us for a webinar featuring University of Oregon’s James Buckley in conversation with ICW Co-Director Bill Deverell. Centered on Buckley’s book In City of Wood, the discussion explores how capitalists and workers logged California’s redwood forests to generate the materials and financial capital that built San Francisco. Blending labor, urban, industrial, and social history, Buckley reveals how the remote woods and the urban core functioned as interconnected poles in a dynamic regional system. Discover how capitalist resource extraction linked distant landscapes to the making of a modern metropolis.
