Log Drivers
In the decades before and even now, in some cases, many of the things we take for granted must be done manually. This photograph depicts a guy riding a tree trunk — but he’s actually a log driver, bringing the limb from the woods to a mill for further processing!
We now have significantly more efficient technology for moving these tree trunks from one place to another in the contemporary logging business. As transportation systems improved, this work became obsolete as well.
