1883 Joseph Prairie, now Cranbrook

Perhaps the earliest known image of what was to become Cranbrook, this photograph of Joseph Prairie shows the structures developed by John Galbraith on land he pre-empted prior to the sale of this property to Colonel James Baker in 1885. At this time there was a sawmill, residence and store on the property, as well as farm outbuildings. Dan Melody added: I've stared at this amazing photo for hours and always thought it was taken West of the creek near the NE end of the old swimming pool, looking East and up towards the Baker House. Now I am thinking it could be taken from above the Baker House, just below where the old ball diamond was, looking NW and down towards the creek with the Baker House to the right.

Logger holding a Pike Pole standing on the log pond at Mineral Lake.

Logger holding a Pike Pole standing on the log pond. In lumbering they are used to control logs floating on a river in a log drive and constructing log rafts. Pike poles used in log rafting were originally made of wood, typically spruce or fir. In the mid-1960s they began to be made of aluminum tubing plugged with a wooden knob to maintain buoyancy. Specialized logging tools of similar appearance are peavey and cant hook. Can anyone help identify this logger?
