As promised, here are three items that Torch members might enjoy reading as a follow-up to my presentation on Northeast Wisconsin Logging History:

 

1.    A copy of the diary excerpt from the Holt family papers that details Minne May Rumsey’s experience going to the Holt Lumber camps in February 1903 with her brother-in-law, Holt Lumber President, William Arthur Holt.

2.    A copy of a 1955 Green Bay Press Gazette article that highlighted the experiences of a man who worked for all the major Oconto area lumber companies during his career as a logger.

3.    A well written journal article by Rande Rohe, a retired UW Colleges system geography professor, about logging history in Northeastern Wisconsin.
