A concise and amply illustrated introduction to Kentucky folk structures--log cabins, houses, cribs, and barns--that should be treasured as irreplaceable expressions of the cultural values of the Commonwealth's past.
Back Jacket
Scattered across the Kentucky landscape are hundreds of folk structures - log cabins, cribs, barns - that carry on traditions preserved in wood construction and in memory rather than on paper. Like folk songs, tales, and regional dialects, material culture reveals the ways colonial and Old World legacies have survived and traveled across regions. As William Lynwood Montell and Michael Lynn Morse assert, folk architecture offers the best examples of such expression since houses, barns, and other outbuildings served settlers' most pressing needs.
