LOG DRIVE IN QUEBEC

This scene took place in the early 1900s on the Riviere Tomasine in Quebec . The river drive left logs hung up on banks and gravel bars.  Rearing crews sacked the shores and shallows, re-floating stranded logs.  The white-water man shown here is using a Peavey to pry, or cant, a wedged log into the main current of the river.  The Peavey, fashioned by Joseph Peavey in 1858, revolutionized river log drives. 

White Pine, White Spruce and Balsam Fir were some of the timber species involved in these drives.  Log drives in the East as well as in the West were extremely dangerous as the many grave markers attest.
