About This Book
A young man inherits his late father’s lumber enterprise and must assume responsibility for its debts, workforce, and operations. Early chapters juxtapose the sensory world of saws, booms, and river drives with a personal letter of practical counsel about honesty, steadiness, and business judgment. Confronting rival crews, labor tensions, and the need to modernize and preserve assets, he is tested in management and moral choices. The narrative traces his coming-of-age as a leader, combining vivid industrial and natural description with themes of duty, ethical decision-making, and the hard trade-offs of maintaining a family business.
