This book is suitable for ages 8-13. The settlers lived in a world made from wood. A settler's first home was usually a tiny log cabin but every settler dreamed of building a more comfortable plank house. "Early Loggers and the Sawmill" shows the rugged life of the lumberjack and how wood was processed explaining: the use of hand-powered whip-saws; the early sawmill; water power, the muley, and rotary saws; setting up the lumber camp; the excitement and danger of a lumberjack's life; the river-drivers who rode the logs down-river; and western logging.
