In "King Spruce," Day delves into the rugged and often dangerous world of logging, where men battle the elements and each other in pursuit of profit and power. The title likely refers to the majestic spruce trees that were coveted for their timber and played a central role in the logging industry of the time.The novel may follow the lives of various characters involved in the logging business, from the wealthy timber barons who control vast tracts of land to the hardworking loggers who risk their lives in the dangerous forests. Through their experiences, Day sheds light on the social, economic, and environmental issues of the era, including the exploitation of natural resources and the struggles of working-class people.
