In 1845 Michael Simmons founded New Market in the southern forest of Puget Sound. Simmons became the upper Sound's first logger. Later he moved to Big Skookum in Mason County and cut piers for the San Francisco trade at his Skookum sawmill. This story follows men who came to work in the woods from Quebec and Wisconsin, From Michigan and Pennsylvania and New York. It includes John Slocum, who rose from the dead twice. It tells about Captain Renton, W.H. Kneeland, the Bordeaux family and the log towns these people lived and worked in.
