back in 1980, i was 16 years old. i met a 94 year old man, who was a old time lumberjack. this would have been his era. i'm from the u.p. i remember the handshake. he had a grip like vice grips. the first thing i thought of was, "he would have hell on wheels back when he was in his 50's. i thought that was pretty damn old back then. lumberjacks may have been thin and wirey, but they were very strong, due to the physical activity that they did. the henry ford mill wasn't to far from where i live. about 1 hour drive.

My grandfather bought 40 acres about 1948 or so in Gogebic county Mi. The first pictures of it had log long-houses on it just like in the video. They eventually took all but one down and we still own it to this day.

There is a book by a Northern Michigan author called “Daylight in the Swamp”. Insane accounts of what working in those days were like. People would often get “exploded” by fallen white pines and in many cases no one knew their last names or how to notify their families.

The Routheaux's were loggers in Iron county. My oldest sister Sheila married Roy Routheaux in 1968. He told us stories of his father who was a logger in the 40's and 50's and showed us photos of themselves back in that time period

It is so difficult to comprehend just how difficult life and work was during these times. How houses and skyscrapers got built is a true testament to their John Wick focus, discipline, and sheer f*cking will - my forefathers will never stop amazing me. Grace be to them.

@@finpainter1 I can't thank you enough for this fantastic old movie!!!! I grew up in L'Anse and near Pequaming in the 1950s - we rode our bikes from Aura down to Pequaming all the time and spent many days exploring the old saw mill, power house as it was all pretty much abandoned. WISH I would have had a camera back then!!!

I noticed that the Fordsons with tracks had steering wheels instead of levers to control the direction etc and it all seemed to work just fine, wonder when they switched over to using levers? Loved those old spiral drum drive too, there is an old Dodge video of those going everywhere and thru everything, neat!!!!

This footage is amazing. It's almost hard to imagine what it was like to be actually doing the tree harvesting back then. At 7:10, wow looks like the first ever "powered" saw, took 2 people to operate it; a godsend.

At the time, these were the tireless wheels of progress. Nobody gave a thought to the devastating consequences of complete deforestation. Some areas are only now beginning to recover from that.

My parents had a home on a lake south of US. 2. They cut all the Hemlocks down years ago, except for about 50 yds From the lake, Virgin Hemlocks on their property. An old logging Rd was the only way to get there.
