Quotations

1830

How delightful to . . . devote the livelong day to punching alligator-gars on the belly with a pike-pole!

1945

First of all, men walking over the loose timber, in their spiked boots, sorted out with their long pike-poles (which were like twenty-foot boat-hooks with a sharp point and hook) the longer, thinner pieces to make the bottom tier . . .

1964

. . . a powered boom scooter rides herd on logs in the water where the timber used to be shoved around by a man with caulk boots, a pike pole and the agility of a cougar.
