Driving a log by hand Item Info
- Title:
- Driving a log by hand
- Date Created (ISO Standard):
- 1955
- Approximated Date:
- yes
- Description:
- Six men use peavies to drive a log in the rapidly moving river. The descriptions on the back of the photograph read 'muscles straining, half-a-dozen Potlatch drives "lean into it" as they manhandle a log back into the main stream. Unexpected cold snaps can cause the river to drop as much as two feet in a single day, resulting in thousands of beached logs such as this," and "driving logs could be cold hard work at times. Water temperatures were often near 37 degrees and men sometimes worked in it up to their shoulder.'
