What is the aim or goal of your writing: E. J. Petersen's literary efforts came as a hobby after he had "retired" and found life too full of interest to think of quitting. And so he drew upon his fund of 4,000 pages of pencilled notes he had made about life in the Michigan forests, from his own experiences as a lumberman, and from long interviews with the oldtimers and timberlookers who had hewed a civilization out of the wilderness and had left behind them stories and legends that make up the lore of the lumber woods.
