Holy Old Mackinaw is the rough and lusty story of the American lumberjack at work and at play, from Maine to Oregon.
In these modern days timber is harvested by cigarette-smoking married men, whose children go to school in buses, but for nearly three hundred years the logger was a real pioneer who ranged through the forests of many states, steel calks in his boots and ax in his fist, a plug of chewing handy, who emerged at intervals into the towns to call on soft ladies and drink hard liquor.
Author Stewart Holbrook tells of the flowering of Bangor, the first of the great lumber towns, where a thirsty logger helped himself to unwatered rum with a tin dipper that was chained to an open barrel in the groggery; of the time when a single block of two million acres of virgin Maine timber was sold to one man for twelve and a half cents an acre; of the beginnings of sawdust and the rivalry between Penobscot and Kennebec. He tells of the first migration when white pine became scarce in Maine, and loggers moved on to Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
Then came the big jump--the second migration--to the forest of the Pacific Northwest and West Coast, and the era of bull-whacking and skidroads, of the wilder and tougher towns offering pleasant sin to the logger. And finally, the coming of machine logging and highways and the disintegration of the old logger strain.
Holbrook captures the life and color of a vanished American scene in this complete history of logging in the Northwest.

Описание: I have my reasons for walking into Chelsea Singer's cupcake shop with an axe. Too bad I've forgotten what they are. Hell, I forgot my own name the second she flashed those blue eyes and offered up a double-fudge cupcake with Irish cream frosting. I may look like a grumpy lumberjack, but I'm a softie for sweets, single moms, and my massive, messy family.The family stuff gets messier now that we're running a resort together on our late-father's ranch, which brings my siblings that much closer to discovering I'm not who they think I am.As things heat up with Chelsea, I'm falling faster than an old-growth redwood filled with buttercream and lit on fire and then maybe chopped into kindling. It's a figure of speech, okay?And it's damned inconvenient, since it turns out someone wants to hurt Chelsea and her daughter. But they'll have to get through me first.And no way in hell will that happen.

Описание: What does a pro-life lawyer have to say about abortion law? What are the costs of abortion for mothers, minorities, and women? Does abortion target the poor and disabled? Is the abortion industry connected to organized crime, including sex trafficking?Attorney Matthew S. Thomas explains it all in easy-to-understand terms, with full legal and academic citations for those doing research. Using case after case and statistic after statistic, attorney Thomas, proves that not only was the Roe v. Wade case (which legalized abortion in all fifty states) a stunningly poor decision by the Supreme Court, but that its impact on American society has been devastating.The sources used in this book are not only reliable, but are often from liberal publications such as the New York Times, NPR, and NBC News (or are direct quotes from Supreme Court cases). As such, the reader can be confident that it will be hard for Democrats and leftists to simply dismiss the arguments contained herein, at least without dismissing information their own favorite media publishers. If you are a conservative or Republican, we hope this book gives you the tools to make your case going forward Some of the interesting topics explored in this book include:1.A look at the legal justification for Roe v. Wade.2.How abortion impacts society's most vulnerable.3.The long-term psychological damage of abortion on mothers and fathers.4.A Biblical prospective on abortion for Christians/Catholics.5.Substituting the word "abortion" for "slavery" in an Abraham Lincoln speech.Thanks to all our loyal readers - Upbeat Conservative Publications

Описание: In its early years, Duluth was a gold mine for lumber barons. Men were employed as lumberjacks and worked like beasts, only to be tossed aside like used equipment when no longer needed. The grand forests were raped for their prime timber, the balance burned wastefully. The men were coarse and hard, but they had to be to survive. More than any other people that ever lived in our land, these old-time lumberjacks could truthfully say, "No man cared for my soul." That is, until God sent three men to the great Northwoods of our country - Frank Higgins, John Sornberger, and Al Channer. These men blazed new trails of the Spirit and founded an empire for God. They reached a sector of humanity for which no spiritual work had ever been done before, storming the Northwoods with a consuming passion for Christ. And with that passion, they also brought a heart as big as all outdoors, a love for men that burned like a flame, and a desperate desire to see these men saved.

Описание: As the heyday of the lumber camps faded, a young scholar named Franz Rickaby set out to find songs from shanty boys, river drivers, and sawmill hands in the Upper Midwest. Traveling mostly on foot with a fiddle slung over his shoulder, Rickaby fell into easy conversation with the men, collecting not just the words of songs, but the tunes, making careful notes about his informants and their performances. Shortly before his groundbreaking and much-praised Ballads and Songs of the Shanty Boy was published in 1926, Rickaby died, leaving later folklorists, cultural historians, and folksong enthusiasts with little knowledge of his life and other unpublished research.Pinery Boys now incorporates, commemorates, contextualizes, and complements Rickaby's early work. It includes an introduction and annotations throughout by eminent folklore scholar James P. Leary and an engaging, impressively researched biography by Rickaby's granddaughter Gretchen Dykstra. Central to this edition are Rickaby's own introduction and the original fifty-one songs that he published—including ""Jack Haggerty's Flat River Girl,"" ""The Little Brown Bulls,"" ""Ole from Norway,"" ""The Red Iron Ore,"" and ""Morrissey and the Russian Sailor""—plus fourteen additional songs selected to represent the varied collecting Rickaby did beyond the lumber camps.Supplemented by historical photographs, Pinery Boys fully reveals Franz Rickaby as a visionary artist and scholar and provides glimpses into the past lives of woods poets and singers.
