Wanigan saga and river drive in White River tale from 1911
The narrative recalls Clyde Curley Byers and a 1911 White River drift in Ontario. A wanigan shanty on a raft is sabotaged by three cookees, Curley fights back with a hullabaloo, and the crew endures a dangerous tunnel and a dramatic rescue as logs shift. The piece blends river drive lore with old time labor and danger.
