A Nebraska Log Cabin by Marvin Liewer [ 2004 ] Preface Nebraska pioneers built their homes with materials that were locally available. The prairie often dictated the use of sod. However, logs were generally used when trees were available. Today, logs are used in construction of country homes, vacation cabins, and hunting lodges despite modern construction materials. Log construction is aesthetically pleasing and energy efficient. In 1994, I began building a log cabin along the Niobrara River near Butte, Nebraska. My goal was to build an attractive, comfortable cabin using local wood products. I used ponderosa pine logs for the walls. Bur oak and green ash lumber was used for window and door trim. Stair and porch railings were constructed from hand-peeled eastern redcedar poles. Redcedar boards were also used for paneling the basement. The purpose of this report is to describe local wood products and specific constructions tech- niques used in my successful log cabin project.

FOREWORD MICHIGAN'S early history and development, as well as that of adjacent states, was influenced materially by the industry that utilized the timber resources of the state. Much of' the wealth in the forest was extracted quickly by the lumber industry, supplying work to the pioneer, in addition to capital and building material to develop farms and villages. Log marks were an essential part of that lum­ ber industry. They were the outposts of law and order in pioneering communities where social controls were often weak. Stamped on a log, they carri~d the inviolate right of ownership of property on every stream and pond in north­ ern Michigan. Michigan has harvested most of its virgin timber crop, but it will not be many years, as ~ measured in the life of a state, before logging .t:~ and milling again will be a common sight and ~ an important part of the state's economy. While ~ the log mark will never return to occupy the ~ important role it once did, it undoubtedly will ~ -c: always be called upon in various ways to iden­ ~ tify raw forest products. A permanent record of log marks and of the industry that uses them is highly desirable. Hence, Michigan State College gladly accepted sponsorship of the WPA Writers' Project for this state-wide study and herewith publishes the results.
