The Happy Little Handsaw - Rare

— Follow along with a tiny teethed Happy Little Handsaw as this tale of trees goes from forest to sawmill to framed house.

Growing up on my family's sawmill and knowing all about this logging industry in Minnesota, this one is special to me . Put out in 1955 by West Coast Lumberman's Association, it's pretty much what you imagine it is: a story of a happy handsaw used to convince kids that logging is a-ok.

THE HAPPY LITTLE HANDSAW
Illustrated by Milli Eaton ' Written by Robert E. Mahaffay ' Copyright 1955 by West Coast Lumbermen's Association. Lithographed in U.S.A. by Abbott, Kerns & Bell Co..

Happy was the little handsaw out in the deep forest with Nick his eccentric owner. He was adept at lopping tree branches for firewood and cutting saplings which grew too close to NIck’s ramshackle house. Nick talked to the little handsaw telling him stories about his life and polished the little handsaw until it was bright and sharpened it to precision. One day, this all changed. Strangers in the wood approached Nick’s house. They were deer hunters.

In this compelling true story, based on released police files and court evidence, find out about Nick and his strange relationship with a handsaw; what happened to the deer hunters; and what evidence finally saw his downfall. ~ Peta Culverhouse (Writer's Rendezvous Book Blobs)
