Lumbering on the upper Mississippi frontier profits and perils
A reader notes laborers and rafts moving lumber from Wisconsin and Minnesota toward the South via the Mississippi. The piece details seasonal crews, high seas, and the harsh work, including a specific payroll of five thousand five hundred dollars paid to a raft owner, with roads and camps described as winter gives way to spring operations. It also mentions a Jersey County land sale by the State Bank of Illinois, where most parcels fetched about $1 per acre amid generally poor quality land.
