Synopsis
The work, logging camps, and life of New England loggers are affectionately described by a devoted woodsman., The New England loggers and river drivers were a unique breed of men. Working with their axes and peaveys through Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, they contributed mightily to the development of the United States. The daily life of the loggers was hard - working in deep icy water fourteen hours a day, sleeping in wet blankets, eating coarse food, and constantly risking their lives. Their pay was very low, yet they were proud to call themselves loggers. When they came out of the woods after the spring drives, they ebulliently spent their pay carousing in the staid New England towns. Robert E. Pike, who as a youth worked in the woods and on the rivers, writes affectionately and knowingly, with humorous anecdotes, of every detail of lumbering. He describes the daily life of the logging camps, giving a picture of the different specialist jobs: the camp boss, the choppers, the sawyers and filers, the scaler, the teamsters, the river men, the railroaders, and the lumber kings. His descriptions bring the reader vividly into the woods, smelling the tangy, newly cut timber, hearing the boom of the falling trees. "The author's lively prose matches the temper of his subject. . . . This is basic history, geography, psychology, economics, and folklore all rolled into one top-quality volume." - R. S. Monahan, New York Times Book Review

    Seller was playing some type of game. They were "taking a break" so I followed the item. They apparently only had one left. There were two other followers. I bought the item when the seller returned from their break. Payment was processed. A day or two later I was notified that the item was out of stock. My money was returned. Perhaps the issue is with eBay and not the seller. Either way, it was not a positive experience.

    When a seller cancels an order I expect a valid reason why. This seller gave me no valid reason why. Gave no reason at all. If sellers cannot manage their business properly, make sure they have stock, make sure to properly take down listings when they are out of stick, that is when they get a good review.
