Whistle Punks And Widow-makers, by Robert Swanson. 160 Pages. Softbound. Whistle Punks and Widow-Makers is a book full of myths and truths of the early British-Columbian logging woods. This book is packed with interesting anecdotes that will amuse and entertain you. This is a delightful recollection of stories that have been handed down from logger to logger and have had their truths bent and stretched until they make a great story to tell around the campfire at night. The old photos show you in great detail how they lived and how they moved their cargo on rails and rivers. They also give you a clear view of how many men had a great sense of pride in their work. If you would like to see the history behind the cities and towns that now stand where great forests used to be, you will immensely enjoy this book packed with old logging stories from long ago.
