CHICKSTA SAYS: “Long ago, the Acadian lumberjacks spent long, cold months working in the thick of the most abundant Canadian forests. Sleeping in small camps, cramped together on cots to keep warm, the men battled with illness and diminishing supplies of food and water. They braved on each morning to cut the wood which would earn them money to bring back to their families. They missed their children and most of all the warm embrace of their beloved women. ”
