Paperback. Condition: Good. The New England loggers and river drivers were a unique breed of men. Working with their axes and peaveys through Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, they contributed mightily to the development of the United States. The daily life of the loggers was hard working in deep icy water fourteen hours a day, sleeping in wet blankets, eating coarse food, and constantly risking their lives. Their pay was very low, yet they were proud to call themselves loggers. When they came out of the woods after the spring drives, they ebulliently spent their pay carousing in the staid New England towns. Robert E. Pike, who as a youth worked in the woods and on the rivers, writes affectionately and knowingly, with humorous anecdotes, of every detail of lumbering. He describes the daily life of the logging camps, giving a picture of the different specialist jobs: the camp boss, the choppers, the sawyers and filers, the scaler, the teamsters, the river men, the railroaders, and the lumber kings. His descriptions bring the reader vividly into the woods, smelling the tangy, newly cut timber, hearing the boom of the falling trees. The author's lively prose matches the temper of his subject. . . . This is basic history, geography, psychology, economics, and folklore all rolled into one top-quality volume. R. S. Monahan, New York Times Book Review.…

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Near Fine. First Edition. 287 Pages. Stated: First Edition. The dust jacket is not price clipped. This book is all about New England's north country and thus is about loggers, rivermen and the other hardy individuals that have lived up there and includes old songs and tales of the area. The book's dust jacket has a few very small tears on the top and bottom edges, and slight wearing at the top and bottom of the spine. The interior book has an inscription to a prior owner at the top of the first page in from the front cover, but outside of that item, there are no further visible extraneous markings, detriments or distractions throughout the book and thus all of the book's printing, and photographs are all in a very well-preserved and totally enjoyable condtion and the book's bindings remain tight and therefore are sound. If you order this gem of a history of nothern Vermont/New Hampshire from us, we will carefully wrap it up in either foam or bubble wrap, then pad and box it and post it right away to you with both insurance and tracking on it.…
