Blazed trail stories, and Stories of the wild life

"Blazed Trail Stories" by Stewart Edward White, is a set of tales that captures the exciting and dangerous lives of lumberjacks at the beginning of the 1900s. Set against the breathtaking and treacherous wilderness, strong characters such as Roaring Dick and Jimmy Powers show the friendship and community of the logging world. Starting with a Fourth of July party in a bustling lumber town in the 1880s, the collection immediately puts on display a competition between rivermen testing their balance and skill on logs. As Roaring Dick and Jimmy Powers meet again, old rivalries spark, setting the scene for stories of competition, rough manliness, and the unforgiving, beautiful natural world that shapes these brave characters.
