Today, there'd probably be a law against this...

This picture, borrowed from the Michigan historical society, depicts a record number of logs ever loaded and hauled on a sleigh, at least as of 1893 when the photo was taken. Cool, huh?

I recall history, in school, was limited mostly to dates, wars, and consequent land exchanges. We never heard about the lives of immigrant loggers and miners and bootleggers, hearty citizens all. Pity.
