Lumbering in New Brunswick - Lumbermen at Work in the Forest, [Canada], 1858. 'The lumbering business is the leading element of wealth in the province; and the sawmills, which are found collected at the mouths of all its rivers, as well as the building of ships, and the business of transportation to the mother country, give employment to a very large proportion of the population. Almost the whole surface of New Brunswick is covered with dense forests of pine, spruce, fir, and hemlock; and for the conveyance of which from the wilderness to the market towns all the streams are employed as highways...The felling of the trees which are thus transformed for exportation is generally performed by parties of men hired by the merchant or dealer for the purpose. In the autumn they are dispatched into the woods with a supply of provisions, axes, and other tools, oxen, and every requisite for the enterprise...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
