NOW IN STOCK! From the producers of The Great Flood of 1936 and Under Quabbin comes this fascinating new documentary that brings the forgotten history of the Connecticut River log drives back to life. Every year, river men drove over a quarter of a million spruce logs 300 miles from the river’s headwaters near Quebec to sawmills in Massachusetts. The drive began in April, and the logs reached the sawmills in August. Much of the lumber that built the 19th century cities of Greenfield, Holyoke, Springfield and Hartford came from these mills. In many places the river bed is a museum of log drive artifacts. Underwater footage by UMass’s Ed Klekowski and his diving crew of log drive sites, historical photographs, early film footage, contemporary newspaper accounts, and personal reminiscences tell the story of the Connecticut River log drives. Tall tales that were the river lore of the 1800s are now brought back to life in Dynamite, Whiskey and Wood.
