Instructions and help about Townsend Fire Company Craft Show

"The first settler in the woods is generally a man who's outlived his credit or fortune in the civilized parts of the state. His time for migrating is in the month of April his first object is to build a small cabin of rough logs for himself and his family. The floor of this cabin is of earth the roof is of split logs the light is received through the door and in some instances through a small window made of greased paper. A coarser building adjoining this cabin affords shelter to a cow and a pair of good horses the labor of erecting these buildings is succeeded by the killing of the trees on a few acres of the ground near the cabin. This is done by cutting a circle around the trees two or three feet from the ground." This is day one of building the Townsends homestead we're working on this very very primitive cabin this first structure on the site and the very first thing we're going to do is work on the foundation. Some of these cabins most of these carbons probably had no foundation
