Nixa1 makes a point on river use. Logs would be moved individually or in rafts. Again its one of those depends questions on who, what , when. Cordell Hull, U.S. Secretary of State (1932-1945) mentions in Vol. 1 of his memoirs building log rafts during winter in Tennessee to be floated down to market (Memphis if my faulty memory is close) during spring flood as a boy as young as ten (1881-1887). These were family/community strategies of making money in those times. It's probably why he decided to get a government job.
