Synopsis
Logging practices in the United States underwent little change for over 150 years, relying on traditional methods to transport timber from forests to mills. Men cut trees by hand and used horse-drawn sleds to move logs over snow to rivers. Skilled river drivers navigated icy streams, managing the perilous task of guiding logs downstream. "From Stump to Ship" serves as a historical record of this labor-intensive process, highlighting the risks faced by those involved in the long log drive during the early 20th century.
