Life in a North Woods Lumber Camp: A Picturesque Story of Logging and Lumbering Activities, Lumberjacks, and Family Life

Thomas O'Donnell had a talent. He liked to tell stories about history and folklore. That talent made him a popular writer during the 1950s. But there was one story left untold. That was his personal story of growing up in a lumber camp. Long before he entered school, Tom had chewed tobacco and pitched horseshoes with lumberjacks. He watched as they felled the tallest trees and rode the logs through swift waters. He was at the table when they played cards and arm wrestled and was witness to many axe throwing competitions. These vivid recollections of his youth lay dormant for fifty years following his death. William J. O'Hern has done it again, bringing to light what would have been a forgotten treasure, Thomas O'Donnell's memoir of his Life in a North Woods Lumber Camp.
