In somewhat the vein of his Lost Men of American History, Holbrook takes his readers down uncharted paths in a series of delightful pieces, pure Americana, that delve into the myths of people and places, unhackneyed and a motley crew. Interspersed among character bits are rich historical views of places, the author’s own experiences in logging camps, and enthusiastic sketches of the nearextinct Yankee.
Stewart Hall Holbrook (1893 - 1964) was an American lumberjack, writer, and popular historian. His writings focused on what he called the “Far Corner” - Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. A self-proclaimed “low-brow” historian, his topics included Ethan Allen, the railroads, the timber industry, the Wobblies, and eccentrics of the Pacific Northwest.
