- A half hour documentary about the logging History in North Western Ontario, Canada,I spent 2 years gathering photos and old film footage for this project. I had a lot of fun creating this project. I edited and processed pictures in Adobe CS2 Premiere and Photoshop
love the video, today my family owns a log camp build in the algonquin high lands area during the 1870's. It is a true marvel of our canadian history
I'd like to inquire about this property but don't know how to send private msgs lol
Just found this. Thank you for your work!
Nice film. Good job. I'm a historian of the Michigan lumber industry which shares a similar history as Ontario's logging history. The Great Lakes lumber region of Ontario, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota all share a similar experience.
GREAT job!!!
awesome, well done.
That bit about France winning the Battle of Trafalgar made my mouth fall open LOL - how could anybody be that ill-informed??
Thanks for the info.
Napoleon won at Trafalgar in 1806?
I just remember, growing up as a kid, maybe 23 years ago, Algonquin park presented a video in a log-camp re-enactment area theater...The movie suggested all the logs were once cut down in Ontario. Someone named Booth was featured. In retrospect, this video makes no sense, as its hard to imagine how guys with saws could have cleared most of Ontario and Algonquin Park. Even today, that is quite a feat. My bigger concern, is why the age of trees in Ontario are so young. Where are the 500 year old trees? Where are the 300 year old trees? Something about our history doesn't make sense.
The largest (thus usually the oldest) trees were cut first as they provided the greatest amount of lumber per tree. I don't know the specifics of Ontario lumber history, but in Michigan where I am from, most of the white and red pine regions of Michigan were completely cut during a seventy year span of roughly 1840-1910. Believe it or not, the men with those two-man crosscut saws could cut the large trees in approximately 15 minutes. Hauling logs year-round by sleds in the winter, rivers in the spring, and railroad in the summer and fall, meant the trees could be cut the entire year. So in a 10 hour day, two men could potentially cut 40 trees a day, 6 days a week (240 trees a week), and say they work 11 months (they may not work when it is the spring mud season), so say 44 weeks a year, that means those two men may cut down 10,560 trees by themselves. Now multiply that by 30,000 (the approximate number of men who worked in the forests in Michigan in the year 1885) and you can see how the original old growth forests disappeared. That number by the way would be 316,800,000 trees cut in a year.
Look John Rudolphus Booth. Extraordinary man, lived until his 90s, built/owned Bay of Quinte RR, Ottawa Arnprior & Parry Sound RR and more.
You got that right
I’m pretty sure Britain won at Trafalgar.. and also that Napoleon wasn’t there.
I'd like again if I could... Go Thunder Bay!
cool a Nesco 3-man slasher a 21:22,a and a few Koehrings are visible at 21:58.
The video is all there i replayed on You Tube myself
The deer population exploded!!! When men were men and women were proud of it.
*** Where the men were men, and the women were too! lol
great vid, really enjoy history of our area, too bad it cuts out at 18:58
Admiral Lord Nelson beat French Admiral Villeneuve at the Battle of Trafalgar
The narrator sounds like Studs Terkel
...and it was theese-MEN... who invented the game of Baseball or Hardball... and i will further-explain the seecrets-of knowing of HOW to hit-the-hard-ball... hmmm... and so even the regular-kid can learn-fast... of HOW to acuratly-hit-the-hard-ball... and to get-that-same ax-man-lumberjack-exercise...
(00:58) Napoleon's defeat of Britain at the battle of Trafalgar? FFS! GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!
Britain inflicted the greatest defeat of France at the battle of Trafalgar on 21st October 1805 which ensured Britain's supremacy at sea for the next hundred years!
