Lumberjack seems to be the term folks use nowadays when describing the old timey fellas that first stripped this area of White Pine. Back then, those guys didn't use the term "Lumberjack", they called themselves "Shanty Boys". My Great Grandad worked in logging camps each winter for decades, and his older boys also, when old enough. He spoke of that era, and their profession then, as being "Lumbermen". He's the guy second from the right in front of the sleigh. My Grandad is at the far left, behind the sleigh. His older brother is the guy in the middle of the three standing low on the load. This photo was taken approximately 1910-1912, in what was known as the Deward Tract, in Crawford County, Michigan.

There's a place for Lumberjacks...after all, we can't have Monty Python singing the "Logger song" now can we?
