Glimpses of over a hundred years of history - in the Skellefte River and elsewhere.
Rafting was labor-intensive and employed many people, most of whom were seasonal smallholders and forestry workers, old and young. The rafting profession was hard and dangerous and there were occasional accidents resulting in drowning, for example, demolishing breakers was particularly dangerous. But it was a free profession that for us today seems to have had a high status with a romantic shimmer, which the raftsman Gösta "Snoddas" Nordgren with his song "Flottarkärlek" may have contributed to some extent.
