Jack Hayse : A day in the lumberwoods
Credits: Jack Hayse
Jack: I was making a bit of money and that was about it.
Interviewer: That’s about it isn’t it? So when you got up in the morning, what was your average day at work like?
Jack: From daylight til dark
Interviewer: Get up and pick up your bit of gear and go to work
Jack: No you had to go get your breakfast, they had a cook there, cook would ring the bell, then go to #5 cabin and get your breakfast, you know what I mean.. Bread and molasses and sometimes pancakes. You’d have breakfast before daylight. It wouldn’t be light when you had breakfast and it wouldn’t be light when you’d have supper. It’d be dark. They’d have a lunch packed for you to bring in the woods with you.
