Welcome to the board.

Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site (U.S. National Park Service)
Here is a link to Saugus Iron Works. They had many Scottish POWs from the English CW. The page itself has little info but the folks there have some good stuff. They also sell a pamphlet "The Scots at Hammersmith" by Stephen Carlson chronicling their time there. Every so often I go down there with my history geeks.....um,... er ...friends and do some living history programs. I realize that 1650's is earlier than you were looking for but it's something to start with. The museum has several woodcuts depicting the wood cutters and charcoal makers.

ps Fly rods are kind of like kilts in a way. I own, and have shut in the truck door,a couple rods from KMart that I use to catch fish in the back woods (backpacking). I also have my grandfathers split cane rod that is a treasure and a very nice rod that is my real rod. They all catch fish but not all are works of art!
