From the ring of the ax in the woods, to the scream of the saw blade in the mill, to the founding of many of Wisconsin's communities, Jerry Apps does an outstanding job bringing Wisconsin's logging and lumbering heritage to life.--Kerry P. Bloedorn, director, Rhinelander Pioneer Park Historical Complex

For more than half a century, logging, lumber production, and affiliated enterprises in Wisconsin's Northwoods provided jobs for tens of thousands of Wisconsinites and wealth for many individuals. The industry cut through the lives of nearly every Wisconsin citizen, from an immigrant lumberjack or camp cook in the Chippewa Valley to a Suamico sawmill operator, an Oshkosh factory worker to a Milwaukee banker.
