The Myth and Reality of the Early Log Cabin
(Continued from last week)
a
Danckaerts must have seen great many log houses of the type he describes during his visit to the Swedish settlements. These iog houses were common in Sweden at that time and they are stili to be found in the rural sections of Swe- den. These log houses excited Dancic- aert's curiosity for they were new to him. He describes t heir construction in considerable detaii. He was a great great traveler, an observing, intelii- gent man and a great taker of notes on his travels.
Peter Kalm, Swedish speaking Finiander, a Professor of Natural History at the University of Abo, also visited the Swedish colony on the Delaware river in 1749-50 eighty years after the visit of Danckaerts and his description of the Swedish iog houses there tallies very closely with that of Danckaerts. Kalm too was a great traveler, a good observ- er and a prolific note taker. His journal is a valuable record of A.m- erican life in 1750. The Kalm jour- nal also discioses an item of special interest to New Yorkers. He visited the English settlements at Crown Point, New York and records the following: "the houses which they each buiit themselves, were of boards, standing verticaliy close to other. The ceiling and even the outer roof were of boards too, the chinks inside the house were daubed with ciay to make the room warm." Kalm was certainly referring to a frame housese here for log houses do not have walis of boards "standing ver- ticaliy." No other construction can be placed on his record.
The Germans aiso had a part- minor part in bringing the log house to the American frontier. They re- inforce the log wail craftmanship of the Swedes. The Germans began coming into Pennsylvania and New York in large numbers by 1710. They came from the Black Forest, Upper Bavaria, Saxony, Baden Baden, Wur- temburg, Aisace and Switzerland and other Rhineland principalities where they had lived in iog houses in' the forested. areas of the Rhineland, many of them knew no other type of house for they were people of modest means. There is no doubt but that both the Dutch and English settiers coming into contact with the Swedes and Germans soon copied this type of dwelling so admirabiy suited to the American frontier and climatic conditions.
Fortunately the clay for chinking and daubing these primitive struc- tures was obtainable in most all of the areas of the originai colonies. This was not true of lime stone for lime burning. Clay was a very im- portant material in making these eariy abodes of the pioneers com- fortable and especially so before the burning of lime stone for lime in plastering. Clay was also valuabie when brick making in fire baking was started. Brick making became an industry of major importance in many of the colonies, especially New York.
Dr. Henry C. Mercer, an architect and historian of standing in writing of the origin of the log house in the United States says: "that most nº the existing log houses in Pennsyl- vania should be ascribed to German influence, not Swedish. Prof. Thom- as Jefferson Wertenbaker agrees with Dr. Mercer and says that he found four different types of iog houses in Pennsylvania which may be traced to definite regions of Ger- many and Switzerland. By "different types" he evidently had in mind
walls built with round, hewn or squared iogs with the corners notched, mortised or halved. It was the round iogs with notched corners that became the common type on the American frontier, Hewn or squared log walls needed less chink- ing with clay but they took longer to prepare and time was an impor- tant item after landing in a new country.
How then did this myth of log houses being built by racial groups who knew nothing of this type of construction in their native lands get started ? A misunderstanding of terms is partially to blame. Words have different meanings at wide in- tervals of history and in distant sections of the world. When a "cab- in" was mentioned in the year 1600 in England it meant a sleeping closet, and alcove or a closed-in-bunk. In Europe in 1700 a "cabin" meant a flimsy hut of boughs and leaves as in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, "make me a wilow cabine at your- gate." This was the interpretation of the word "cabin" ali over Europe at that time. Then in this country: no writer ever thought of housing: as of any public interest until the rise of social history and that was- long after the log cabin myth had become a conviction. .. "Neither did anyone in this country think it was necessary to study English or Dutch housing as a background to an un -- derstanding of colonial housing .. (To be continued) -
