Book on lumberjacks of Maine

A great attraction of the valley was its stands of timber. Lumberjacks came from the Kennebec and Penobscot valleys, from the Baie des Chaleurs, and from other regions. A forum to discuss the network of lumbermen in the valley.

Book on lumberjacks of Maine

Post by jbott »

I just discovered this book on Amazon:

Forest Life and Forest Trees: comprising winter camp-life among the loggers, and wild-wood adventure. with Descriptions of lumbering operations on the various rivers of Maine and New Brunswick

Published in 1851, author John S. Springer

It is available for free for the Kindle or $9.99 as a paperback.

I just got it and have not read it, so I can't give any feedback on its contents yet.
