Range the Wild Woods Over: Loggers' Songs and Stories

Event Details

At the turn of the twentieth century, loggers cut the timber that built and warmed our houses and provided the ties for America's ever-expanding railroads. Timber established Portsmouth, Portland, and Bangor as important ports, sending New England lumber worldwide. Folklorist Jeff Warner relates the songs and stories of the people who worked the wintry woods, showing their humor and grit and giving us a glimpse into everyday life in long-ago lumber camps.
