Compiled by Wayne Erbsen, "Log Cabin Pioneers" is an impressively entertaining compilation of stories, songs, sayings, advice, recipes, and folklore commonly held by folk who, quite literally, lived in log cabins on the every expanding American frontier. These yesteryear entertainments and activities offer a kind of "window in time" for contemporary readers that is as informative as it is entertaining. Illustrated throughout with period photography, readers will learn how log cabins were sited and built; the kinds of music that entertained, inspired, celebrated and consoled; the art and craft of making moonshine whiskey; how log cabin kids entertained themselves; cooking; the beauty secrets and practices of log cabin women; even accounts of log cabin hauntings and legends. "Log Cabin Pioneers" belongs in the public library collections of every village, town and city that had their beginnings as communities of log cabin pioneers!
