WISCONSIN - LUMBERING, 1869. Freshets in the West - Great Jam of Logs at Chippewa Falls Boom
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1869, offering a glimpse into the bustling lumber industry of Wisconsin. The scene is set at Chippewa Falls Boom, where nature's forces collide with human ingenuity. The image showcases a powerful spring freshet that has caused an immense jam of logs along the river. As we observe this chaotic spectacle, it becomes evident that logging was not for the faint-hearted. Men from various backgrounds can be seen working tirelessly amidst this logjam, their determination etched on their faces. Intriguingly, scattered throughout are members of the Ojibwa tribe who played an integral role in Wisconsin's logging history. Their presence serves as a reminder of how indigenous communities contributed to shaping our nation's industries. The forest surrounding Chippewa Falls stands tall and majestic; its towering trees once provided sustenance and shelter for both man and beast alike. This wood engraving captures a moment frozen in time when humans harnessed these natural resources to fuel economic growth. As we reflect upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of the challenges faced by those who labored in this demanding industry – battling treacherous rivers and unpredictable weather conditions while striving to meet growing demands for timber across America. This print offers us a window into an era long gone but leaves
