LUMBERMAN ~

( 1910 )

LUMBERMAN

 


My father —
 
An old lumberman now
 
Tells me a little yarn about one
 
Of our descendants who were all
 
Sawmill owners and loggers and
 
How Grandfather Henry when he was
 
Cutting off Mt Greylock for his mill and
 
For the state of Massachusetts carving a
 
Road out to the mountain’s summit also
 
Worked over one landowner for most of
 
One night about a particular oak tree he
 
Wanted and left quite pleased from his
 
Visit with the man because he was given
 
Permission to cut the tree he had already
 
Earlier in the day cut down
