Latest Commentary

Point of Interest

I am now being touted as one of the world’s foremost authorities on cypress. That is ridiculous, in as much as the men that taught me were far and away more knowledgeable than I could ever hope to be. These were men that went to the woods at daylight and quit at dark. Winter or summer. They used crosscut saws, sledge hammers and wedges and either oxen or mules to drag the logs out of the woods. I came along at the end of the crosscut and the ox, but I did see them. I saw men on the Mississippi River cut cypress from boats and pick boards. Probably the most dangerous method of timber cutting ever tried. I was a lad at the time, but I will never forget the determination and stamina demonstrated. I suppose my finest hour was when I was paid my first money as a full cutter. ($5.00 a day). I was 15 years old. If I am an authority on anything it is the never changing grit of Americans. If one wants something done in this world, just tell an American that it can’t happen. In closing there was one thing the woods did not teach me and that was obviously grammer.
