Description

In 1906, 20-year-old Wilfred Nevue boarded a train to the Pacific Northwest, planning to earn money for college. Experienced at logging in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, he was confident he could handle a lumberjack's job on Puget Sound - until he arrived in Seattle where the jobs were strange and environment alien. This is a personal history of the rough camps, the men he worked with, his adventures in Seattle, and the ways in which he adapted - and didn't - to life in the Northwest.

Author Biography:

In 1906, Wilfred Nevue (1886-1996) left the family farm in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan ambitious to attend college and with a plan to earn the tuition working as a lumberjack on Puget Sound. His adventures - ranging across four eventful years - brought him dangers and hardship but also beauty and friendship. Susan M. Branting holds a master's in journalism and has 40 years of experience writing and editing. This is the second of her grandfather's memoirs that she has compiled into a book.
