Here’s my Great Great Grandfather Alban Boring (far left, white hair) along with my Great Uncle, his grandson, Cecil Boring (4th from the left, standing like a lumberjack). 1912.
Logging with horse power and then making lumber with steam power (I think!?!) … that’s labor to celebrate.

Many of my ancestors did this type of work.
I don’t think I can fully appreciate what hard, dangerous work this was. That’s OK … I have no aspiration to use 100-year old technology to the exclusion of modern advances!
