Eloquent in their simplicity and architectural strength, log cabins have long been associated with traditional American virtues of self-reliance, independence, and ingenuity. This ode to an early rural form of architecture is highlighted by full-color photographs, with a focus on the history and evolution of log cabins across America. An eloquent visual celebration of these iconic structures, this beautiful book explores regional and ethnic variations in design. Nancy Mohr lives in a converted barn in Unionville, Pennsylvania.
