"Lumberman's Memorial on the Au Sable, Oscoda, Mich."

The lumber industry in northern Michigan boomed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This postcard depicts the 14-foot monument erected in 1932 near Oscoda, Michigan, dedicated to the area's lumbering history. The monument includes a timber cruiser who surveyed the forest, a sawyer who harvested the trees, and a river rat who guided the valuable logs downriver to the sawmill.
