Chefs in Lumber Camp Kitchen, Sidnaw, Michigan, 1926
Add to SetSummary
Few jobs were as important in a lumber camp as that of a chef. The logger's work was physically demanding -- even in the mechanized 1920s -- and it generated an impressive appetite. Chefs prepared enormous quantities of food for every meal, and little of it went uneaten. Good food was vital to a lumber camp's morale and productivity.
