Moving logs Item Info

Men use peavies to move a log that has breached itself on shore. In the background, a man stands in a boat 'Cleopatra'. Attached to the photograph is a newspaper clipping which reads 'this work with peavies, dynamite, sweat, and brawn goes on through the annual drive like an endless belt of the stream through which the crew sloshes and wades to get the job done. more than 50 million board feet of timber flows downstream. the crew works all but about 15 miles of the 85-mile river course taking to the water when the bulk of the logs are in the mill pond from the two river camps and countless decks of logs stacked by the river by contractors. their work is the 'rearing' operation.'
