In 1906, 20-year-old Wilfred Nevue boarded a train to the Pacific Northwest, planning to earn money for college. Experienced at logging in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, he was confident he could handle a lumberjack's job on Puget Sound - until he arrived in Seattle where the jobs were strange and environment alien. This is a personal history of the rough camps, the men he worked with, his adventures in Seattle, and the ways in which he adapted - and didn't - to life in the Northwest.
