 Barns, Sheds
and Outbuildings: A Practical Guide,
by
Byron D. Halsted,
2007. 240
pages,
5.5x8.5",
softbound book.
Accompanied by more than 250 illustrations, Halsted's environmentally sensitive
manual was written with the farmer in mind--and during a time when a laborer
earned a mere dollar a day. His barn-building theories extend to dog- and
bird-houses, and are based upon qualities we still hold dear: light and air,
space, cost, and beauty, as well as permanence, convenience, and workability.
This facsimile edition of the 1881 book of plans and instructions will engage
the reader with its anecdotal style. Nearly 100 structures span the gamut of
farm buildings: from monumental barns--four stories high and covering nearly an
acre, to lowly hen coops and root cellars. The particulars of their
construction, recounted in simple and practical terms, tell a timeless tale of
life lived amid the changing seasons and the natural world.

Shelters,
Shacks, and Shanties: The Classic Guide to Building Wilderness Shelters,
by
D. C. Beard,
2004. 256
pages,
5.5x8.5", softbound book. This excellent hands-on guide by one of the founders of the Boy Scouts of
America contains a wealth of practical instruction and advice on how to build
everything from a bark teepee and a tree-top house to a log cabin and a sod
house. No professional architects are needed here; and knowing how to use an axe
is more important than possessing carpentry skills. More than 300 of the
author's own illustrations and a clear, easy-to-follow text enable campers to
create such lodgings as half-cave shelters, beaver mat huts, birch bark shacks,
over-water camps, a Navajo hogan, and a pole house. Additional chapters provide
information on how to use an axe, split and notch logs, make a fireplace, and
even build appropriate gateways to log houses, game preserves, ranches, and
other open areas. An invaluable book for scouts, campers, hikers, and hunters of
all ages, this guide and its fascinating collection of outdoor lore "still has
intrinsic value," said Whole Earth Magazine, and will be of keen interest
to any modern homesteader. ADD2182-$10.00
