A fascinating documentary that brings the forgotten history of the log drives back to life.  Every year, river men drove over a quarter of a million spruce logs 300 miles from the river's headwaters near Quebec to sawmills in Massachusetts.
Underwater footage of log drive artifacts adds a modern twist to this historic account.  Tall tales that were the river lore of the 1800s are the best part.  Bars, fights and prostitution are left unmentioned in most old logging films.  Before this film it seemed that the men worked and ate beans and donuts 24/7!
