Log Cabins History

Figured I would ask here anyway. I got two books about the history of log cabins, how they were made, the styles & materials used by various origins of people, etc.;

1. Chilson Aldrich, "The Real Log Cabin"
2. The Log Cabin, Homes of the North American Wilderness

Anymore suggestions ? Thanks

That last one isn't really about the backcountry in general, but you started this.

Sometimes it surprises me which fights have dogs in them and which ones don't. This board has usually avoided being a dullard on intellectual or literary topics, and yet I'm the most enthusiastic contributor an OP can find? I don't always get it, here.

Would someone who knows from cabins and books (and books about cabins) please validate the board's existential value? Willard? Bueller? Anyone?

Thank you.

Jeez.

Hehe thanks for your help, I especially like that suggestion : The log cabin in America; from pioneer days to the present. Going to buy it pretty soon. The other, The log cabin myth is not on the cheap side

I actually know nothing of these books themselves; I found them after a brief search on the database of our regional PUBLIC LIBRARY network.
