About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ... moves the line about until he finds what branches should be cut away to trim the trunk to the best advantage. A JOBBERS SHANTY IN THE O1TAWA LUJIBER1NU IISTUICT. The heavy axes then come into play, the branches are whipped off, and notches ten or twelve feet apart are cut, and the wood is split off half an inch up to the line.

As the trees are cleared a roadway is run up amongst the stumps and the logs are crowded along the slope. From dawn to dark the work of picturesque destruction goes on; and when night has closed in the men meet round the fire, and the fiddle is brought out, and the evening is spent in musical jollity. In Ottawa most of the lumbermen are Highlanders, in the older provinces they are half-breeds or French Canadians; and the traveller in the woods may often hear from the log-hut the wild melody of some old Scottish song, or perhaps some sacred hymn; for your Canadian, outwardly at all events, never forgets his church. It is even recorded that the priests make their way from shanty to shanty to conduct religious services in the woods, and that many of these lumbermen, some of them the roughest of the rough, begin and end the day with a form of prayer rattled through with a celerity that would not have wearied even Henry Beauclerk. Just before the roads break up the lumbermen return to their homes. And when the snow has gone another gang starts to get the logs...
