108 pages. "What I have learned of the logging and loggers has been picked up in the Coast districts of Washington and British Columbia. That I have tried to picture unusual characters amongst loggers, and have said little of the unnumbered thousands of fine upstanding, many men in the industry, is not that I'm unaware of them. The unusual always get more attention. In the Saga I speak from personal knowledge, not heresay. And the characters I attempt to picture are not fictitious, nor are the incidents in which they are involved." - from author's note to the reader. Contains fifty-four poems with titles such as: The Tyee Logger; The Logging Camp; Rough House Pete; Sad News at Spry; The Ballad of B__ S___ Bill; First the Kaiser, Then Hitler; When the Sun Begins to Shine; To Fred Elworthy; Song of the Axe; To Felix Penne; To Be Read at a Stag Party of a Friend; Burns Night; Despondency; Vancouver; Gay Nymph; The New Chief; and many more.
