A beautiful bird's eye glimpse of Quicksand in 1913. This scene was taken near the mouth of Meetinghouse Branch. Development of the lumber camp in Quicksand had just begun.

Just as soon as possible after the train knocked down the first bridge - a second Quicksand Bridge was started. Here workers inspect progress of the new bridge. (1914)

Another view of the big crash that took down the Quicksand Bridge. (1914) Notice the old county road bridge in the background--it was washed away during the May flood of 1927.

Kelly Stidham, Seldon Elam, Norman Allen, Doc Hoge and others are shown with another huge load of logs headed down South Fork for the mills at Quicksand about 1915.

Quicksand at the peak of its glory. This scene of the main saw-milling factories is hard to believe when viewing the same location today. Is it any wonder that the virgin forests of Breathitt County were quickly gobbled up by this wood-eating monster? (1917)

The lumber yards served the entire population of Quicksand for a recreation spot. Here, notice the long boardwalks running along the yards. This event was 1912 Easter Egg Hunt.
