  • My family logged the Rocky Mountains...Pa Pa was a skidder using his own mule to skid the felled logs out of the stand. My mother and her siblings lived in the timber camps growing up. It was seasonal so they moved back to the family homestead during the winter months. My husband just retired a few years ago from loading and hauling the logs to the sawmill.

It was hard but enjoyable work in the mountains of Virginia. I have no idea how many fence post and timbers and boards I helped him cut but he built a new barn for calving and treating injured animals. I enjoyed spending time with him so I always volunteered to help no matter what. A story you might enjoy. On my honeymoon we went to Williamsburg, I think it was the Cooper's shop. The apprentice was cutting with a 2 man and asked me if I wanted to try it. I went to it. I settled in to a rhythm and cut a couple of staves. My wife told me he was starting to drag a bit during the second one. Me I just fell into the rhythm I had always worked at. I wasn't trying to show off and apologized to him.

We have a logging museum that is an old cookhouse for the logging town with all kinds of memrobillia like handle bar chain saws and bread baking pans welded together to bake 6 or more loaves at a time. The Samoa cookhouse if you are ever out in Eureka Calif is a great place to see and catch a meal.

It's also interesting how the skills that were brought to America by Europeans were adapted and improved upon to process much larger trees and transport them over longer distances. The elbow grease and guts these guys had to work in these conditions everyday really puts modern life into perspective!! Great video. Mad Hatter!!!

  • Thanks for that, Santee. The first chainsaws were used by surgeons, though they were somewhat smaller as they were used to cut the breastbone. Interesting how the meaning of words change. A lumberjack was a fellow, a jack, who cut timber into rough planks. The man who cut the tree down, or felled it, was a treefeller. In Medieval England both jobs were probably done by the same men while working in the forest. The tree would be cut down and the wood was shaped before being transported to save weight. So all the posts, roof beams, floors et cetera would be prepared then shipped of to the building site. Almost a flatpack home.

  • I grew up hearing stories about my Great Great Grandpa Colomb whose name was Louis Pierre and he was a French Canadian Lumberjack who was born in the 1850s in Quebec and moved to the US where he married a French immigrant named Delema, who he had six children with. He was 6 foot 4 inches in height, had size 6 feet, a huge handlebar mustache and shoulders as wide as an ox. You know those cartoon French Lumberjacks? That was pretty much him. Once carried a stove four miles on his back to a log cabin because he didn't want to hurt his pack horse!

  • Good to see. I mentioned earlier, my great grampa and his two older brothers left Maine after the Civil War and moved West as lumberjacks and cut all the trees down. Supposedly they were called the "Giants of Maine", they being robust and 6' 6" and taller. They moved all the way to Washington, down to California and moved back to Spokane. The Old West was more than cowboys, miners and cavalrymen. Lumberjacks, store keepers and farmers were in the mix. I have family from Alaska down to Oregon and in between. Back in Maine all the way down to Florida. Tennessee, West Virginia and here, in the Shenandoah Valley. And can't children in Wyoming and Missouri. Even have a cousin in Germany, staying after he left the U. S. Army in 1968. I'm sure there has got to be some some logging camo shootouts or axe murderes to do some shows on. Good shows. Reminds me of my family 110 to 130 years ago.

  • My favourite lumberjack is the cheese stealing villainous rodent Savoir Faire from the Klondike Kat cartoons (that's showing my age). "Savoir Faire ees everywhere!" I also have a dvd copy of Kirk Douglas in The Big Trees somewhere. I have a Border Collie, the second BC in a row, I love them. I was watching Shane the other day and I suddenly wondered about the role of working dogs in the West.

  • It was noted on Monday mornings back at the mill or forest after a hell-raising weekend many lumberjacks suffered from a local case of 'smallpox'-getting stomped on the face or hands in a drunken brawl by another lumberjack's metal spike soled work boots. They felt naked without their 'corked' boots much like a cowboy without his six-shooter. Popular saloons like Humboldt's in Seattle had to replace their hardwood floors every couple of years because of the wood getting turned into toothpicks from this. The owner of Humboldt's, Fred Hewlett is a story in and of himself who always looked out for the lumberjacks' well-being by letting them deposit their pay into his safe and he wouldn't give it back until they sobered up enough. He didn't allow shifty 'dudes' in his saloon trying to cheat or steal the lumberjacks out of their pay as he was the bouncer as well, thrashing and throwing them out. Fights were ALWAYS taken outside under Fred's watchful eye and the lumberjacks knew Big Fred had their best interests in mind. He even collected Indian relics the lumberjacks would bring in offering free drinks in return and soon had his own considerable museum inside that patrons could admire.

One of the neatest things in the area was the Lumberjack history museum in the Samoa Cookhouse, an actual still active dining hall for Lumberjacks that worked in the region in the 1890s. It is now a publicly available resteraunt with great grub. It is also cool to go out into the redwoods, throw down a blanket, and lay down on the stump of an ancient Redwood long since turned to timber.
