With the Woodsmen 



ABRAHAM LINCOLN and some of our other 

 early presidents were born in log cabins. Not 

 many of these log cabins are in existence now, 

 but something quite similar may be seen in the 

 great lumber camps in Maine, New York, Michi- 

 gan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. These are occu- 

 pied by men from the towns and cities who go 

 to the woods to find employment through the 

 fall and winter. Such men are called loggers or 

 "lumberjacks." They have almost a language 

 of their own, and there are many things about 

 them which are strange to us.
