Logging aficionados are quick to claim that the lumber towns can match the cow towns and mining camps \"blow for blow with action, mayhem, tragedy, violence, color, loneliness, songs and legends,\" but until recently few studies have addressed the truth behind these claims. How violent really was the American frontier?2 Do the logging centers of the American frontier truthfully belong within the tradition of frontier violence popularly associated with western cattle towns and mining camps? In fact frontier lumber towns in the Great Lakes states produced plenty of romance, color, and mayhem. During the white pine era the three largest lumbering centers in Michigan developed reputations as the toughest towns on the Great Lakes. Muskegon, located on Lake Michigan, had its infamous Sawdust Flats. The Sawdust, an area of \"unspeakable whoredom and violence,\" was built on a sawdust fill running six solid blocks along the lake. East Saginaw, on the Saginaw River near Lake Huron, had its White Row, \"the roughest, toughest, fightingest spot in the Saginaws.\" In nearby Bay City the Catacombs, \"undoubtedly the toughest place anywhere along the Saginaw River,\"","PeriodicalId":246151,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forest History","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127721797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conservation movements in both nations made great strides in influencing official policy and in awakening public interest and concern during this period. The evidence suggests that American conservationists saw and grasped their opportunities to a greater extent than did their Canadian counterparts. Nevertheless, the Canadians saw policy changes at the federal level in these twelve years they had thought unattainable since the depression of the early 1890s waylaid the initiatives following from the American Forestry Congress of 1882. Conservation began to revive as a political issue at the federal level in Canada slowly after 1893, with a revitalization of the forest reserve surveys and the creation in 1894 of Moose Mountain Reserve in present-day southeastern Saskatchewan. Then, in the general election of 1896, the Conservatives, long in power, were toppled from office and the Liberals, led by Wilfrid Laurier, formed the government. The Liberal party under Laurier was an amalgam of interest groups and ideologies stretching from the prime minister's rather traditional laissez-faire liberalism, tempered by political expediency, to Minister of the Interior Clifford Sifton's clear-headed, calculated dedication to material progress. Sifton thought government should act as the dynamic leader for private enterprise, using strict regulation if neces-","PeriodicalId":246151,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forest History","volume":"95 7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128320758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forest products were not successfully used on a commercial scale to make paper until after the 1860s, when the groundwood process was developed to make newsprint.' For the making of finer grades of paper, rags-mostly imported -and cotton were still the major sources of raw materials even in the 1880s. The early trade associations were thus more concerned with supplies of rags from abroad than with domestic wood supplies.
