Swanson worked for years as a logger, then as a forestry safety inspector. He went to every camp on the coast, where he spent long evenings of bullslinging with the legends of logging. He started writing down their stories and ballads in the 1930s, and in the process he became and irreplaceable human storehouse of coastal logging history.
