Description
Tall Trees Tough Men by Robert E. Pike is a robust and humorous account of logging and log-driving in New England during the 19th century. Working in harsh conditions, these men played a vital role in shaping the United States, yet their daily lives were marked by hardship and risk. From the icy waters of Maine to the forests of Vermont, Robert E. Pike's vivid descriptions bring the world of logging to life, immersing readers in the sights, sounds, and smells of this unique occupation. With a keen eye for detail, Pike recounts the various specialist jobs that made up the logging camps, from camp bosses to river drivers, creating a rich tapestry of history, geography, psychology, economics, and folklore.
