IN THE LUMBER COUNTRY
Reading edition
The men of the woods are not as the men of the cities. The great open spaces where men battle with the primeval forest set their mark upon their inhabitants, not only in physique but in character. The lumberman,—rough, frank, independent, humorous, equally ready for a fight or a frolic, has been portrayed at full length by Stewart Edward White in The Blazed Trail and The Riverman. In the following sketch, taken from his Blazed Trail Stories, he shows the lumberman at work and at play.
