"Boom" River Driver's - Boom House Millinocket Maine

The lumber capital of the world at one time, Northern Maine. In this episode of New England Shorts we learn about the hardships of early logging and how Maine's rivers were used as highways by the river drivers. Bateau boating through Penobscot whitewater, dynamiting log jams, and towing chords of wood by the thousands to get the logs to the mills. All in a days work for a Maine logger.
