Seeking Michigan presents a video of the "modern timber harvest" from the 1950s by Walter Hastings. I haven't even watched the whole thing but I already know that you'll want to! The film describes how wood is cut and delivered to the mill ... with a lengthy interlude about life at a logging camp including the food loggers ate at camp.

Kids, I think you can get extra credit for showing this to your teacher.
