       Outbuildings -- Exceptional Log Places -- Appendix: 
       Distribution Maps. 
520    Drawing on more than four decades of research, Tennessee 
       Log Buildings examines one of the Volunteer State & 
       rsquo;s most precious & mdash;and fast-disappearing & 
       mdash;traditions. From the pioneer era through the mid & 
       ndash;twentieth century, folk builders in Tennessee used 
       logs to construct cabins, barns, other outbuildings, 
       schools, and churches. In warm, accessible prose that 
       often makes this deeply researched work read like 
       guidebook, John Rehder explores the varied styles and 
       architectural characteristics of these fascinating 
       structures, including their floor plans, the types of 
       timber used, and the different notches that were cut into 
       the logs to secure the structures. Profusely illustrated 
       with over one hundred images, Tennessee Log Houses traces 
       the evolution of log houses from one-room (or single-pen) 
       dwellings to more elaborate homes of various types, such 
       as saddlebags, Cumberland houses, dogtrots, and two-story 
       I-houses. Rehder discusses the historic settlement 
       patterns and building traditions that led to this variety 
       of house types and identifies their particular occurrences
       throughout the state by drawing on surveys conducted in 
       forty-two counties by teams working for the Tennessee 
       Historical Commission (THC). Similarly, he explores 
       disparate barn and outbuilding types, including the 
       distinctive cantilever barns that are found predominantly 
       in East Tennessee. Sprinkled throughout the book are 
       engaging anecdotes that convey just what it is like to 
       conduct field research in remote rural areas. Rehder also 
       describes in detail a number of the state & rsquo;s 
       exceptional log places, among them Wynnewood, an enormous 
       structure in Middle Tennessee which dates back to the 
       early nineteenth century and which suffered severe tornado
       damage in 2008. As the author notes, many of the buildings
       originally identified in the THC investigations have now 
       vanished completely while others are in serious disrepair.
       Thus, this book not only offers an instructive and 
       delightful look at a key part of Tennessee & rsquo;s 
       heritage but also makes an eloquent plea for its 
       preservation. Until his death in 2011, JOHN B. REHDER was 
       a professor of geography at the University of Tennessee, 
       Knoxville. He first joined the UT faculty in 1967. He was 
       the author of Appalachian Folkways, which won the Pioneer 
       America Society & rsquo;s Fred B. Kniffen Book Award in 
       2004, and Delta Sugar: Louisiana & rsquo;s Vanishing 
       Plantation Landscape, which won the Vernacular 
       Architecture Forum & rsquo;s 2000 Abbott Lowell Cummings 
       Award.
