  1. I learned that after the Lumberjacks were done chopping wood most animals were either forced to move or died. I also learned that that they mostly ate pork and beans. sometimes pork and beans were served three times a day. I would not want to be a Lumberjack because it would be so much work.

  2. I learned that it is hard to be a lumberjack, That they put logs down rivers and watch them float to the camp,and that they have to hold giant logs when they cut down the trees. Maybe, because the good thing is that it could make you stronger and not so good because there would be huge logs to carry.

  5. I learned that death on the river was a regular thing. They had fun on Saturday nights ,they
    danced. They stamped their logo on the logs to tell who's was who's. I would not want to be a lumberjack because you would get really cold.
