Firstly, excellent video. The fact that you are keeping such a rich heritage alive is beyond appreciated. My grandfather was a cookie in Carthage, Maine from 1936 at the age of 13. He held that job seasonally until 1939, when he became a feller's lackey, a position he held until a certain situation in Europe drafted him in '42. Returning in '45, he immediately became a feller until 1973, when he retired into farming. He always talked about the sugar. Well, more specially the prolific use of molasses. Beans were actually baked in "bean holes" every night, and day. Breakfast was eggs, baked beans, fried potatoes and molasses donuts. Lunch was usually sandwiches or lunch was completely skipped. Supper (dinner is only on Sundays) was pork or ham, sometimes chicken, and fish on Fridays), baked beans, fried dough and/or molasses brown bread, always potatoes (scalloped, fried, or baked), sharp white cheddar cheese, and a green (string-beans, cabbage, spinach, asparagus or chives). He cut wood all summer and fall, harvest ice all winter, floated logs all spring, repeat.

My grandmother was a lumber camp cook, probably in the ‘30s - ‘40s. I’ve been curious what her job was like.

Very bad! You are breaking the structure of the tree. It is necessary to prick, not saw. Then the water will flow through the fibers. And in this case, it will penetrate into the pores of the tree. Disgusting!

Not a very satisfying video. I was expecting more detail as to how the block was moved to produce a tapered shingle. I am also interested in what happens to the shingle when it is cu, where does it go?

Each run of the still requires the harvest of a cord of black birch saplings, branches, and wood; tightly bundled and loaded into the still box. The still is filled with a continuous supply of fresh, clean water, provided by the museum’s log pond. A fire underneath the stainless-steel pan will boil the water, and pressure-steam the birch for 48 hours. A hood collects the vaporized oils in the steam released from the birch. Copper coils are run through a tub of cold water, condensing the oil and water vapor. These are collected in a glass container at the base of the still. The best efforts at running the museum still have thus-far been able to produce about 1 quart of birch oil (also known as ‘spirits of wintergreen’) from the 128 cubic feet of birch saplings. At current, the still is run three times a year at various museum special events- including the Bark Peelers’ Festival in July.

My grandfather, Hiram Wood of Canton, PA, provided haircuts to the men at the Masten, Pennsylvania CCC camp. He did not have a car so the Army provided him with a lift. From Wiki: Masten is located in Cascade and McNett Townships in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, United States. It was a lumber mill company town from 1905 to 1930, served as the site of a Civilian Conservation Corps camp from 1933 to 1940, and the last family left it in 1941. Since then it has been a ghost town and the site serves as the trailhead for the Old Loggers Path, a loop hiking trail.

Glad to see you're still carrying on the espirit de corps of the CCC. You probably know more about this organization and its working than anyone else in the country (at least in PA). Keep up the good work.
