The people of New Brunswick didn’t have many opportunities. If you lived in New Brunswick, either you would be a lumberjack, who cut down trees and floated them down to mills, or you were a mill worker who cut the trees into planks and then were exported to all parts of the world. The largest city in New Brunswick was Saint John, at 28 805 people, out of 252 000 people. Not much is known about rural New Brunswick. Since 90% of New Brunswick was forest, lumber was New Brunswick’s most valuable natural resource.
