Each summer, men and women travel from all over the globe to the
Lumberjack World Championships in Hayward, Wisconsin, to compete
before thousands of spectators and prove who is the best at
chopping and sawing wood, log rolling, and boom running. The event,
with its impressive international fan base, has become the most
prestigious timber sport gathering in the world.
" Timber " chronicles the history of the championships since its
inception in 1960 and highlights such popular athletes as J.R.
Salzman, Ron Hartill, and Peggy Halvorson, all of whom are
stalwarts in a variety of events from the hot saw to the
springboard chop. These glory-seeking competitors symbolize a
connection to the old days of logging in Wisconsin and throughout
the United States, when timber-felling helped build the
country.
Lively and informative, "Timber " shows how these timber sports
keep alive the spirit of the logging world and the image of the
logger as a pioneer.
