Quotations
1872
A crew of lumberers have different occupations assigned to them; the "fellers," cut down the trees and trim them; the "swampers," who "swamp"--cut roads--to the felled trees to enable the "teamster" and his assistants to haul them on a "Bob sled"--two sleds working independently and joined by chains. . . .
1964
The modern feller is an artist with a power saw and the axe-man is becoming almost a legend.
