Pocomoke forest?? Ha! Ha!
The trees or the men?
You could build a boat with that one tree!
Man! That was a day's work, wasn't it? No chain saws back then..
I found a 2 man CHAIN SAW at a yard sale some years back & have kicked myself for not buying it.It had a 10 hp engine on one end and a handle for both hands on the other.The blade was 8' long & was designed for trees up to 6 or 7'in diameter,but no where near enough to cut down a tree like the one in the photo.It had not run for years & had been manufactured in 1945.I would have hung it on the wall for a curiosity for the $50 price tag.Duh..
back in the 60's a friend of mine built a go kart with 2 of those engines on it would run away from big block chevelles and smoke the tires at 50-60 mph
No wonder the lumber barons of the late 19th and early 20th centuries made so much money, and why you can't have furniture of the same quality now --- all of those 500 year old trees are now gone. Thank Teddy Roosevelt for protecting what remained by creating the federal park system.
Sorry pal.
The National Park system was created to provide collateral for the national debt. The debt was to international bankers.
