Logging in the Adirondacks - videos like this I always find interesting. Really enjoy the tales of lore in the early logging industry.

New England, NY, MI, WI & MN (Paul Bunyan) were all heavily logged in the 1800s and prior to WWII. Prior to the Revolution it was ILLEGAL to cut a White Pine tree in New Hampshire. That was because they all belonged to the King for use as masts in the Royal Navy. Hence, the term “Kings Pine” was coined.
