Summary
A documentary that brings the forgotten history of the Connecticut River log drives back to life. Every year, river men drove over a quarter of a million spruce logs from the river's headwaters near Quebec to sawmills in Massachusetts. Much of the lumber that built the 19th century cities of Greenfield, Holyoke, Springfield and Hartford came from these mills. Underwater footage by UMass's Ed Klekowski and his diving crew of log drive sites, historical photographs, early film footage, contemporary newspaper accounts, and personal reminiscences tell the story of these drives
