In Deep Woods Frontier, Theodore J. Karamanski examines the
interplay between men and technology in the lumbering of Michigan's
rugged Upper Peninsula. Three distinct periods emerged as the
industry evolved. The pine era was a rough pioneering time when
trees were felled by axe and floated to ports where logs were
loaded on schooners for shipment to large cities. When the bulk of
the pine forests had been cut, other entrepreneurs saw opportunity
in the unexploited stands of maple and birch and harnessed the
railroad to transport logs. Finally, in the pulpwood era, "weed
trees," despised by previous loggers, are cut by chain saw, and
moved by skidder and truck. Narrating the history of Michigan's
forest industry, Karamanski provides a dynamic study of an
important part of the Upper Peninsula's economy.
