	Kalevala, Lönnrot and Kainuu
		The epic took shape in the province of Kainuu, where it was compiled from an extensive collection of rich folk poetry by Elias Lönnrot, district physician in the provincial capital of Kajaani from 1833 to 1853.
		Lönnrot's relationship to Kainuu - his home for over twenty years - has been studied from a variety of perspectives, but the part of his poetry-collecting field trips spent in Kainuu and his travels in the far corners of the district of Kajaani have received comparatively little attention.
		Kainuu was - and still is - a unique province in many respects, not least because, together with the Viena district in Russian Karelia, it is the concrete birthplace of the Kalevala.

	Summary
		Kainuu had traditionally been an important trading area for the merchant houses and sawmills of Oulu, the peasant farmers of that region selling their tar to the Oulu trading houses, which also either ran sawmills or traded in sawn timber.
		Although the indebtedness that arose by virtue of the tar trade will not serve as an explanation for the sale of farms in Kainuu, it is clear that the general socio-economic situation in that region from the late 19th century onwards was conducive to such sales.
		At the same time, excellent conditions were seen to exist for the floating of timber from Kainuu into Lake Oulujärvi and from there down the River Oulujoki to the sawmills in Oulu, and the forest reserves of the region were well suited to the needs of the sawmill industry.
