The interviews are with four long-time Weyerhaeuser Timber Company employees: George S. Long, Jr., William H. Peabody (this interview was conducted by Dr. Harlan B. Phillips of Columbia University), Al Raught, and Roy Voshmik. John Phillip Weyerhaeuser is included in the Raught interview. In the interviews each man talks about the timber company, its policies and administration, employees, founder Frederick E. Weyerhaeuser, forestry policies, labor problems and the Industrial Workers of the World and the American Federation of Labor, life in lumber camps in both Oregon and Washington, and other timber companies such as the Cherry Valley Timber Company and Bonners Ferry Lumber Company. These interviews were conducted with the support of the Oral History Research Office at Columbia University and were done for the book Nevins wrote in 1963.

The notes were taken in 1939 for a paper on Collis P. Huntington that was written and read to a Huntington Library audience by Alan Nevins. Some information in the notes were gained from an old time associate of Collis Huntington who was discovered according to Nevins at a large hotel on the Arroyo that was taken over and used by the government, probably the Vista del Arroyo Hotel.
