Hello, all.
I need to kill someone off in my YA work, and thought a logging accident might be the way to go.
The character involved (the killee) and the one who can't face what happened (killer, although it was an accident) are loggers. Killer is more experienced and feels responsible for a stupid (but it has to be believable) mistake. The killee is his son, so he's not very experienced, and could have actually been the one responsible for getting himself killed, but killer won't accept that.
This all happens 50 years ago, so I need info that would have been plausible back then. No modern technology stuff.
Does anyone know where I can find a source that could help with this? I have no clue where to even begin looking.
Thanks for any help.
