[QUOTE="Dave, post: 985301, member: 498"] My grandpa (Dad's Father) was born in 1893 in a Swedish community in Finland. That made him Finnish by birth but to the day he died you wouldn't want to be calling him a Finn. He was a Swede and he made sure to tell you that. He worked log drives on the rivers back there and was a market hunter to make money to come to this country. In 1910 he emigrated to this country. He worked in logging camps. Back them they treated the pigs better than they did the men. Grandpa said they provided straw for bedding for the pigs. The men just had rough cut lumber for bunks that were three or four high. The men would go out and cut ferns and boughs to stack on the boards for a mattress. [/QUOTE]
