I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK ~ Explored

He's a lumberjack and he's OK .... note that 'Joe Lewis' has also 'got game'. 16 hard men (maybe 15?); note the grinding wheel (next to the dog) used to sharpen cutting tools.

- To find that I did a Google image search; I found the image on Pinterest, (incorrectly) titled "Montana lumberjacks 1906"; Googling that and checking the "images" in search results returned the above link.

 

Originally, this photo was seen on a U.S. Forest Service website with no date or other information about this outstanding piece of history. www.fs.fed.us/greatestgood/images/gallery/logging/Logging...

The Wisconsin map location is only estimated, after viewing some logging camp maps.
