    I have been searching for information on the half scale and small scale railroads used in the Cadillac area that were used to extract logs from the forests in the early years.

    Real men doing real work! This was back when men were real men. I only saw about 500 OSHA violations.

    This illustrates the basic difference between capitalism and communism. In capitalism the men are provided with the tools to maximize their output, decent dormitories and adequate, quality food. During the exact same time these scenes were being shot men who weren't shot were sentenced to slave labor in a camp in the Gulag system, provided only the most rudimentary of tools and often worked to death to accomplish the same output of raw materials. The workers in a capitalist system may not have been highly paid but they had better food, tools and living conditions compared to many in the Workers Paradise. Does someone have a reference to compare the cost on a per board foot basis what this lumber cost Ford to Gulag produced lumber? The Gulags were surely horribly inefficient but did the slave labor and low overhead result in cheaper lumber?

    Ah yes, the reason why there is no old growth in the Upper Peninsula.

    Lots of old growth in the UP. You just have to know where to look.

    Ford should have to pay ALL the restoration of Michigan rivers and bring back the Grayling

    Ford had nothing to do with the demise of Grayling in Michigan. That was way before he was a player.
