    Following the supply chain from the forests to the docks and mills of San Francisco and into the corporate spaces that helped make the city a globally important commercial center, Buckley's major addition to the literature for historians is to focus his analysis on the built environment that delineated class and control over redwood workers...He's particularly convincing when writing about the conditions of labor and life for the loggers and mill workers transforming the redwoods into finished products. Buckley provides a compelling narrative of how workers adapted to difficult circumstances to create lives for themselves within the timber industry, from company housing in the forests to the workplaces of the urban lumber district in San Francisco and the residential hotels in the city that housed increasingly marginalized workers., With this impressive new book, James Buckley shows just how important it is to take a spatial approach to architectural and urban history. From the great redwood forests of Northern California to the booming city of San Francisco, Buckley guides us through the class-differentiated physical landscapes that capitalists and workers, almost all of them white men, built of wood along the Pacific Coast. The unsparing narrative tracks the devastating effects of unrelenting resource extraction, an assault that decimated ancient forests, and, coupled with industrial production, married the urban core with the countryside, creating a veritable, ever-changing City of Wood. Buckley gives the great struggles between capital and labor their due and tracks the impact of money and material, new technologies, and consumer desire on the modernizing architectural landscapes of the urbanizing West. A great gift of this book is the care that Buckley takes to document the places of everyday life in the City of Wood--the lumber camps, mill towns, docks, lumber yards, planing mills, employer mansions, worker housing, and office buildings--and the attempts to conserve what remained of the grand trees from which they were built, before the forest disappeared entirely., Scholars seeking insight into the formation of regional-metropolitan economies will value James Buckley's expert and artful analysis of nature-capital regimes in northern California's redwood bioregion. Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, timber titans, financiers, managers, and workers transformed territory into property, forests into fields, trees into logs, and logs into lumber. The author's encompassing scale and scope support a recalibration of metropole-hinterland relations seen as intrinsically dependent: the former a peak locale for enterprise, trade, and the addition of value, the latter a peripheral location for crude accumulation and entropy. Most ambitiously, Buckley's findings compel us to redraw our originary maps for today's "regional urban networks" to include California and America's West and to reset our timelines accordingly., A great strength of Buckley's work is his ability to simultaneously focus on micro and macro history... In lesser hands, this might have created a confusing, disorienting narrative. However, Buckley seamlessly oscillates between small and large stories, using engaging prose and anecdotes throughout. The result is a revealing, comprehensive narrative that paints a remarkably comprehensive portrait of San Francisco and northern California logging... This is a powerful, fascinating study that deserves, and will hopefully garner, a wide readership, City of Wood is a masterful work of history befitting the giant redwoods at its center. James Buckley guides the reader from forest to metropolis and through multiple scales of analysis, linking it all together, with gorgeous illustrations, into one breathtaking human landscape.

    Synopsis
    2025 John Brinckerhoff Jackson Prize, Association of American Geographers 2025 Abbott Lowell Cummings Award, Vernacular Architecture Forum How San Franciscans exploited natural resources such as redwood lumber to produce the first major metropolis of the American West. California's 1849 gold rush triggered creation of the "instant city" of San Francisco as a base to exploit the rich natural resources of the American West. City of Wood examines how capitalists and workers logged the state's vast redwood forests to create the financial capital and construction materials needed to build the regional metropolis of San Francisco. Architectural historian James Michael Buckley investigates the remote forest and its urban core as two poles of a regional "city." This city consisted of a far-reaching network of spaces, produced as company owners and workers arrayed men and machines to extract resources and create human commodities from the region's rich natural environment. Combining labor, urban, industrial, and social history, City of Wood employs a variety of sources--including contemporary newspaper articles, novels, and photographs--to explore the architectural landscape of lumber, from backwoods logging camps and company towns in the woods to busy lumber docks and the homes of workers and owners in San Francisco. By imagining the redwood lumber industry as a single community spread across multiple sites--a "City of Wood"--Buckley demonstrates how capitalist resource extraction links different places along the production value chain. The result is a paradigm shift in architectural history that focuses not just on the evolution of individual building design across time, but also on economic connections that link the center and periphery across space., 2025 J.B.
