EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "LUMBERING: LOG JAM, c1865" transports us back to a time of rugged determination and hard work. The image captures a group of lumberjacks in the midst of breaking a log jam on a river. Taken by Benjamin Franklin Upton around 1865, this snapshot provides an invaluable glimpse into the world of American logging during the mid-19th century. The scene is set amidst a picturesque rural backdrop, with towering trees framing the river's edge. Lumberjacks can be seen strategically maneuvering long poles to dislodge the tightly packed logs that have formed an imposing blockade in the waterway. Their faces etched with concentration and sweat glistening on their brows, these workers epitomize strength and resilience as they battle against nature's forces. Upton's expert composition beautifully captures both the power and grace inherent in this arduous task. The cascading waterfall nearby adds an element of dynamism to the scene while also serving as a reminder of nature's unyielding might. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, we are reminded not only of our ancestors' tireless efforts but also their deep connection with America's vast wilderness. This photograph serves as a testament to their unwavering spirit and dedication to shaping our nation through sheer physical labor.
