IMAGE INFORMATION
A cradle of smaller logs supports four larger tree trunks. Levi Brooks stand on one of these, swinging a peavey. Two other men, at left, are indentified only as "Cyril and Bob". Bob is the one facing left. A shed or garage is shown in the background. On obverse is written: "Cyril and Bob/ 1948/ Lake Lemerchant/ Levi Brooks/ A Lake Back of Bear River/ Lake LeMerchent?/ logging." On reverse is written, "Finished by W. R. Rozee, Yarmouth, NS." One of 116 images collected for copying by Darlene Ricker between 1990 and 1997, as part of a project of the Bear River Mi'kmaq Reserve, Bear River, NS. Initiated by Chief Frank Meuse, the project, set up to preserve the reserve's history, resulted in a book by Darlene Ricker, 1997. The Nova Scotia Museum, Halifax, contributed the copywork for all photographs lent to the project, on the understanding that they would keep the copy negatives, but return the originals and provide the lenders with 8x10 prints of each item loaned for copying.
