Settlers standing on the banks of the Salmon River, Victoria County, N. B. – [ca. 1898]. – 1 photograph : b&w. Photographer unknown. Men and women, possibly some members of the Jens Peter Jensen family, stand on the riverbank between New Denmark and Drummond, Victoria County. A sawmill owned by Jens Peter Jensen is in the background. Sawmills were constructed in many, if not most, 19th century settlements so that logs could be sawn into lumber for constructing homes and barns. Settlers also sold their sawn lumber to merchants for cash or credit.
