- Date Created (ISO Standard):

- Description:
- Men use peavies to break up a log jam. The description on the back of the photograph reads 'log jam has begun to unsnarl. Men on logs at front are in the most dangerous location--one misstep could send them amid the battering tree lengths. Beginning to unfurl, the log pileup yields its foremost tree lengths into the hungry current. Catty footwork and quick agility saves a peavy pole man from being caught by the rolling water slick logs.'
