Hauling log with sledge
CA ETRC P998-2019-015-009 · Item · [1914 or 1915]
Part of Eastern Townships Resource Centre Graphic Material collection

The item is a photograph of a team hauling a log on a sledge (sled) in winter, likely including members of the Baker family at the Edwin G. Baker farm on Haslett Road at Danville, taken in 1914 or 1915. Also visible is the load binder - the bent stick. The log would be chained to the sled, the load binder attached to the chain, bent over and hooked, thereby applying tension to the chain to hold the log in place.
