Joseph Peavey

Joseph Peavey, inventor of what became an indispensable logging tool,  as a young man, posing with an earlier logging pry bar. The company is still making cant hooks, Peaveys and other logging tools 160 years later. Unclear of the differences between a cant hook and a peavey? See the Dukes earlier post.
