I ran across this link last night and sat and read the whole thing.... I figured some of you on here would really enjoy it too!! I really like the way it's "told" and the pictures and explanations are excellent.

Thanks for posting that. I'd always wondered how they high-loaded those horse drawn sleds. Now I know.
It amazes me the work and conditions that our early settles had to endure back in the day. Very good post about the loggers. Thanks, bg
What a great find, I laughed a bit when I saw the box of Kellogs Corn Flakes behind the gentlemen having pouring coffee.
I also enjoyed the photo's of the Dinner horn & Lumber Camp Kitchen staff, 3 of those fellows had ties on.

Great post. :)
That is quite the link. I have it bookmarked. That will take me hours to read and go through the pictures.
I never tire of looking through those old photos. :)
Great old photos and narrative John.
Thank you for sharing!
I came across Paul Buffalos life history a couple years ago and never tire of reading it. He simply takes you back a hundred years and shows you how things once were...a wonderful resource.
Nice pictures and stories.
My Grandparents worked in logging camps here in the Adirondacks!
But I always wondered why they were referred to as "lumberjacks" when they worked with logs, not lumber! smiley_confused
Maybe a better name would have been "timberjacks"! smiley_curtain_peek
I really enjoyed that. Thanks for the post.
I can set and read/look at stuff like that all night. That was an excellent balance of pictures and reading. Thanks.
