QR code
"Joan of Arc of the North Woods" by Holman Day is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the struggles of Ward Latisan, a young timber cruiser who is fiercely protective of the independent timber operators against the encroaching Comas Consolidated Paper Company. As tensions rise between Latisan and Rufus Craig, the field director of the corporation, the story explores themes of loyalty, competition, and the fight
for survival in the timber industry. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the timber landscape of the Tomah country and the ongoing conflict between independent loggers and a powerful corporation aiming to monopolize the timber resources. Ward Latisan, described as spirited and determined, comes into contact with Rufus Craig, who is attempting to negotiate a buyout of the independent operations. As they clash over the future of the timber rights, Latisan's sense of honor and family legacy compels him to confront Craig and stand firm against the corporation's aggressive tactics—setting the stage for a larger battle for their livelihoods and the land itself.
