My father stumbled across this video the day before last, as it was in his recommended videos after searching the name of his fathers old boss, Wallingford. As he passed before I was born I never met my grandfather Eugene Caron, the discovery of this video is huge to me, as no one in our family knew there was video of my grandfather. I’ve only ever seen him in pictures until today. This is truly astonishing!
Wonderful film! I sincerely hope this film or copies are preserved in a museum or historical society in Maine. They are priceless historical records. The women working along side the men decades before women's lib is especially inspiring.
Not many people really get to grasp the super highways that go 100s and thousands of miles through Maine's majestic woods. I spent a lot of time cruising those roads. So amazing
I remember thousands of cords of wood lined on the shore of Wyman Lake in the winter waiting for the spring thaw. Then it would be in booms and sent down Wyman dam to the Kennebec River. We stayed at a camp on a hill side on Wyman lake. We hunted from there and fished for jack smelts in the winter. Best of times back then.
Thank you for all of this video footage!! My wife and I purchased a house near Katahdin, and I'm studying Bob Geller's book of logging in that region. This footage has put a visual to the process that it took to get the logs into the waterways. Utterly fascinating!
When this documentary was made in1992 i was 23 and cutting 4 foot pulp and logs on my property here in northern Vermont. They don't buy softwood pulp anymore.

Thanks so much for sharing these old films with us. Priceless history and fascinating!
Beautiful ,loved it!! A man really put in a work day back then ! No wonder those old timers were so tough ///
Beautiful documentary I have a camp on the 20 mile road and I love it up there. I spend as much time up there as I can. You are hunting and fishing.

This is truly amazing to stumble on that video of our father in the 50". This is a keeper for sure.
I was never exposed to Maine logging roads until early 80s and was absolutely amazed at the roads that were cut out back in the 50s. .
White birch. My fave
Thanks so much for this historic footage. And how truly wonderful that you've discovered footage of your grandfather.
It’s great that you can see your grandfather!
Shout out to my Gramps who introduced me to the woods . First planting trees , cutting cord and fire wood then logs .
I remember thousands of cords of wood lined on the shore of Wyman Lake in the winter waiting for the spring thaw. Then it would be in booms and sent down Wyman dam to the Kennebec River. We stayed at a camp on a hill side on Wyman lake. We hunted from there and fished for jack smelts in the winter. Best of times back then.
Nice to see some history of a place I visit often, hiking and ATVing.
Nice old video great
Absolutely amazing. Thank you

Reminds me of yarding wood with cattle growing up
I been through thousands of miles of logging roads up past kenduskeag
This is an awesome video!!
Very interesting.. retired logger myself.
I bet they had some wild game bbq’s slightly out of season too
this seems much more efficient than the way its done today
Really nice quality for da 50s
enjoyed
They by then were super highways . Logging trucks wheeling 70mph w ease
When this documentary was made in1992 i was 23 and cutting 4 foot pulp and logs on my property here in northern Vermont. They don't buy softwood pulp anymore.
when i heard the phone ring i almost went to the kitchen
i remember Dick and Winnie very well they used to come into the camp on the snowmobile .
6000 ft wow that's a big freaking load
Those frozen birch logs would be quite dangerous to handle with them tongs. You wouldn’t have a man on the truck nowadays.
Yup this vids a treasure
