This essay, examining that frontier through the lenses of the history of masculinity and history of memory, begins to pick open a single stitch. 1 Doing so reopens what Thomas Cox saw as the frontier moment — the moment of white colonization and the height of forest extraction from the Indigenous lands in the Northwoods of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan — and allows us to understand it as the height of a period of cultural turmoil. The purposeful twentieth-century mythmaking surrounding late-nineteenth century lumberjacks in the Northwoods of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan served to obscure how contested, unsettled, and dynamic the period of intense frontier lumbering was. Large-scale lumbering brought into con ﬂ ict a diverse set of seemingly incompatible masculinities. White la-borers ’ itinerancy, following lines of supply and extraction between the Northwoods and settled towns, put lumberjacks into direct contact with Anishinaabe populations and the burgeoning middle classes of the Mid-western plains towns. Each of these points of contact was marked by violence as well as racialized and gendered disgust — either for the jacks by bourgeois settlers, or by the jacks toward Anishinaabe men.","PeriodicalId":46406,"journal":{"name":"Environmental History","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136152082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
