My dad was born in Wakefield, Michigan and attended Michigan Tech University and Wayne State University. He cherishes Wakefield and the larger Gogebic County. Gogebic County depended on mining and logging, during "the day", so I wanted to show that horses were important to that life too. I lifted this photo from the Bessemer Historical Society webpage. It shows hard-working logging horses. Horses also worked in mining and for the fire department. There's a story at the Bessemer Historical Society weblink which displays the labor of horses in the Great Ironwood Fire. You can go to the Bessemer Historical Society at the following link:
