What an interesting book.
Set in the early 20's on the west coast of BC, the daily life of the men who logged the bush. The book goes into personal detail of the times, before unionization, before globalization, before roads, before what we now consider civilization. These men risked their lives daily in a way of life that has since disappeared. A moment in time. I personally enjoyed this book immensely. But then my dad was one of those men, a prospector in Alaska in the early 20's, a logger with a horse team and then an A-frame donkey and then he became a troller on the west coast, times gone by.
