Scope and content
Two men hard at work in the forest, splitting a large log for fuel wood for their own use in the winter. The man on the right is using a maul. The men are taking part in the Pierce County wood gathering project. The project was begun in June of 1933 and it provided men on the relief rolls of the County transportation and tools to fell, saw and split wood for winter fuel. Each man was expected to prepare three cords of wood- two for his family's use and one for distribution to the aged, widows and handicapped. None of the wood was sold for profit. (T. Times 10/1/1934, pg. 3) (filed with Argentum)
