The American lumberjack at work and at play, from Main to Oregon - here is his rough and lusty story. In these modern days, timber is harvested by cigarette-smoking married men, whose children go to school in busses, but for nearly three hundred years the logger was a real pioneer, who ranged through the forests of many states, steel calks in his boots, an ax in his fist, a plug of cheweing handy, and emerged at intervals into the towns to call on soft ladies and drink hard liquor.

Holbrook, Stewart H.: -

Beloved Northwest author Stewart H. Holbrook, a Vermont native and former logger, came to Portland, Oregon in 1923. His works of popular history covered a variety of topics, including logging, famous figures of the Old West, and interesting events and people of the Pacific Northwest. A columnist for the Oregonian, Holbrook had articles published in newspapers and magazines all over the country, and he published many books. Holbrook described these writings as "lowbrow or nonstuffed shirt history." The much-celebrated author was known to consort with a wide variety of people, from the literary elite to loggers and labor organizations.
