About this item

By 1907, the easiest areas to log in Massachusetts had already been cut.  The Connecticut River, with its broad access into the interior, was one of the first. Logs cut far to the north were floated downriver, taking as long as a year or even two to make it to the paper mills at Holyoke. By 1907, the number of rivermen moving the logs had dropped as the industry began a long decline. Many moved on to other logging operations in the south or west.
