Year 1810 blog #8

This is me, Mike Anderson II again. Since I’m too busy farming, this will be my last post as a blogger. I Might as well tell you about the timber industry. At around 1800, the timber industry was going crazy around the British North America. We needed wood for ships, house and paper for the newspaper industry. Wood was a reliable resource for British. People would have used them for shoes, eating utensils, furniture, wagons and jewellery. Thanks to the war in Europe, Britain has less timber than usual, until the British North Americans stepped in (AKA, us). The lumber industry was also really good for making good use of the Saint John, St. Lawrence, and Ottawa Rivers. Many farmers would work part time in the timber industry.  Even I am thinking about working in the timber industry. While the men were working, the women would be taking care of the house, barn, animals and children.  That’s all I have to say for now. Since this is my last post, don’t bother looking back here for new post, unless my son wants to write blogs. Anyways, this is goodbye.
Sincerely
Mike Anderson II

  1. Timber is a very reliable source. It seems to never run out, and it is used for many different things, so it's a win win situation.
