Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When one thinks of Maine, one usually thinks of trees, forests, lumber, saw, pulp and paper mills. In many ways to forest and its uses are central factors in Maine history. Professor David C. Smith has written in other places about that history, but this book puts much of that knowledge together in a detailed unfolding of logging from 1860 to 1960 and its influence on the state and its economy. The book ranges from a description of life in the woods for the logger, through driving the rivers with the product of forest, to the saw mill and its manufacture and finally the shipping and sale of the end product in its foreign and domestic destinations. Attention is paid to the economy and social structure of the state and the effects of the national economy on the logger. The shift in the Maine woods to pulpwood logging and the growth of the paper mill is discussed along with the long and bitter fights for control of the rivers between downriver loggers and upriver papermakers. The long fight for the establishment of a state forestry and conservation policy is outlined, along with the career of Austin Cary, a pioneer forester. Life in the Maine woods in the twentieth century is portrayed, and such factors as the depression, the CCC, and the Second World War are also discussed. A handsome portfolio of photographs illustrating the lumbering process from the woods to the users of the products demonstrates the ubiquity of the logging business. Maine has had its forests from the beginning, their utilization is the lifeblood of the state's history. This book discusses that lifeblood and illuminates the history of the Pine Tree State.

This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1960, four of us, students at Atlanta (Michigan) High School, embarked on a pulpwood cutting operation as a way to earn spending money for the coming school year. While scrounging around my dad’s sawmill shed for some tools to use in our enterprise, we found an old sign painted by one of his lumberjacks. It read, “CAN’T HARDLY LUMBER COMPANY.” Not then realizing how prophetic it would be, we took the sign for our pulpwood site. Our experiences that summer, mostly humorous in hindsight, provided the grist for several of the stories and vignettes in this volume. Others chronicle Betty Powell’s 1942 joke on the sheriff, Doug King’s barn-raising bee, and the great porcupine hunt of 1956. All provide a glimpse into northern Michigan life as we experienced it back in the day. After graduating from Atlanta (Michigan) High School in 1961, DAN STEVENS earned B.S. and M.A. degrees from The University of Michigan and a Juris Doctor from T.M. Cooley Law School. He returned to Montmorency County as a businessman and lawyer and represented northeastern Michigan in the Michigan House of Representatives for two terms. Later he served as a policy coordinator for the Florida Governor and was the County Attorney for Hendry County, Florida, over thirteen years. He and his wife Sarah now split their time between Atlanta, Michigan, and Tallahassee, Florida.
