This is perhaps the definitive 8 Wheel Log Wagon. This was taken, I believe, of the wagon that is now on loan to the Mississippi Agricultural Museum in Jackson, MS.	Wagon at work in the woods. Notice that this is a later version with the spoked wheels.	This photo is from the September, 1981 "Dixie Truck Trader". "This photo of a 1932 GMC truck and Lindsey Log Trailer was sent to us by E.C. Foster of Natchez, Mississippi. The truck was owned by E. C. Foster's father, R. D. Foster. The elder Foster was a logger from the time he was 14 years old until he died at the age of 72.

Picture of an almost new Wagon in a downtown setting. Notice the articulation between the trucks, between the trucks and the bolsters.	Lindsey Wagon Factory (date unknown). The building in the far right of the picture still exists and is being moved and restored by the City of Laurel.	A copy of the business card from the Lindsey Wagon Company. Notice the size of the log. Also notice the poles and chains stored under the log. These were used for unloading the wagon.

Early 8 Wheel Log Wagon: notice the solid wheels. A guess at the time is about 1900 when John Lindsey had a sawmill in Jasper County, Mississippi	The "Lindsey Lumber Co." image shows (according to the description on the back) Dr. S.W. Lindsey with a foot on the front tire, Sam Lindsey Sr., at the back of the cab with a foot on the running board, George Robinson with his hand on his hip and Will Fuller to his right wearing a cap.	Mainly a view of oxen, but there is a wagon loaded behind them. This picture is probably typical of the area where the 8 Wheel Wagon worked in the South. The rough growth behind the wagon.

	This is the only photograph I have found of this variation of the Lindsey Wagon. Notice the pneumatic tires. Until I found this photo, I had never heard of this variation.	A competitor!!!!
Some of these pictures are from the historical collection at the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art in Laurel, Mississippi with special thanks to Sandy Hayes, Librarian.
