At least one major branch of it was. I don't know if they might have operated other places, but had a major business there. They floated the logs downriver from a place called Splashdam, VA, through present day Grundy, VA, into the Breaks, and down the mountain into ELkhorn City. From there, on through Pikeville,and to Ashland, KY, where the logs were sold. http://www.foresthistory.org/research/Galleries/Logging_LogDrives_SplashDams_Gallery/pages/FHS5030th.htm http://haysivirginia.gov/history/index.html http://books.google.com/books?id=6ZkoGoiyBscC&pg=PA216&lpg=PA216&dq=Splashdam yellow poplar lumber company&source=bl&ots=dJmFLP-1UQ&sig=MIsV07_UpcfW9cnrtyL2d0aEutc&hl=en&ei=mVmcS4-WB8G78gbojJ34DQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10&ved=0CCAQ6AEwCQ#v=onepage&q=Splashdam yellow poplar lumber company&f=false Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
