Log Home Designs - Today's Renewed Fascination
No longer does "over the river and through the woods" mean that you're heading towards grandmother's little cottage. You certainly may find a cottage here and there, but it it's not too hard to find a neighboring yard with a timber frame home in place of that little abode grandmother loved and treasured. In fact, you'll now find everything from compact, sleek log home cabins to master estates as showcases featuring an array of log homes of which grandmother could have only dreamed.
Today's fascination with log homes has evolved into a serious contender in the building and construction industry. In fact, many new suburban subdivisions have moved their exterior façade designs to those reflecting a wilderness lifestyle where you can find a escape from the concrete jungles just minutes or miles from metropolitan areas.
This trend is evident as well when picking up any major home thematic magazine. The perfect example is the works of Roger Wade Studio. As a contributing photographer for Architectural Digest magazine, Roger's work showcases log home pictures, timber frame home design, and the many features of log homes.
I researched and located some very informative sites that not only included a multitude of log home plans, but also were able to educate me - in general - about timber frame home design. One of the best I found was Pioneer Log Systems (www.pioneerlogsystems.com) in Kingston Springs, Tennessee.
Not only are they a log home building supplier and manufacturer of heavy timber trusses and outdoor timber structures: they are innovators when it comes to log home design. Once thought to be something that you plunked down in the remote wilderness with minimum design and comfort, the work by Pioneer Log Systems has certainly contributed to the aesthetic popularity of logs homes.
When I look at the array of log home pictures, I'm amazed at the many choices you have for features. This range includes timber frame home design with a selection of outside corner assemblies (and it's are more than what Lincoln Log toys showed us way back when), metal roofing, brick fireplace surrounds, modern kitchen amenities such as stainless steel appliances and solid surface countertops.
Of course, it is understood that my love of front porches (which is no surprise) is probably one of the most common features in a log home today. I simply need to add a rocking chair and I'm all set to gaze upon the vast world around me, taking in the beautiful view that God has provided.

Abraham Lincoln - $12.99 To date, this D.W. Griffith epic is the only talking-picture effort to encapsulate the entire life of Abraham Lincoln, from cradle to grave. The script, credited to Stephen Vincent Benet, manages to include all the familiar high points, including Lincoln's tragic romance with Ann Rutledge (Una Merkel, allegedly cast because of her resemblance to Griffith favorite Lillian Gish), his lawyer days in Illinois, his contentious marriage to Mary Todd (Kay Hammond), his heartbreaking decision to declare war upon the South, his pardoning of a condemned sentry during the Civil War, and his assassination at the hands of John Wilkes Booth (expansively portrayed by Ian Keith). This was D.W. Griffith's first talkie, and the master does his best with the somewhat pedantic dialogue sequences; but as always, Griffith's forte was spectacle and montage, as witness the cross-cut scenes of Yankees and Rebels marching off to war and the pulse-pounding ride of General Sheridan (Frank Campeau) through the Shenandoah Valley. Thanks to the wizardry of production designer William Cameron Menzies, many of the scenes appear far more elaborate than they really were; Menzies can also be credited with the unforgettable finale, as Honest Abe's Kentucky log cabin dissolves to the Lincoln Memorial. As Abraham Lincoln, Walter Huston is a tower of strength, making even the most florid of speeches sound human and credible; only during the protracted death scene of Ann Rutledge does Huston falter, and then the fault is as much Griffith's as his. Road-shown at nearly two hours (including a prologue showing slaves being brought to America), Abraham Lincoln was pared down to 97 minutes by United Artists, and in that length it proved a box-office success, boding well for D.W. Griffith's future in talkies (alas, it proved to be his next-to-last film; Griffith's final effort, The Struggle was a financial disaster). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi |

From Log Cabin to White House with Abraham Lincoln $4.2 For students ages eight to fourteen, the My American Journey series presents a true history of the United States with a cleverly helpful dose of fiction. Each of these first four books (In a projected series of ten) recounts highlights from the life of a true early American founder or social pioneer. But to engage a student's interest from page one, a fictional narrator--usually a school-age person who somehow knew the main hero--tells the story with youthful vigor. Adding to Deborah Hedstrom-Page's unique lessons are plentiful illustrations from Sergio Martinez (Max Lucado's You Are Special). Each book also contains study questions for every chapter, as well as special activities, and character building lessons. |

The Log Cabin Quilt Story $19.34 When I was five years old, I started hand sewing my fourth quilt, my log cabin quilt. When I was picturing it, I was imagining the Story of "This Old House," a story told by my Great Aunt Chris Coutts about our family's 200 year old homestead. I loved hearing how it was rich with the proud history of our country and the brave men and women who defended it. This story ties my quilt to our family history and acts as a tribute to our Country. The log cabin quilt pattern is made of pieced strips built up like logs and represents the spirit of Abraham Lincoln, the log cabin President, and the simple pioneering values of frontier America: honesty, hard work, humility and liberty.In 1862, Abraham Lincoln said "In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best, hope of earth. Interestingly, Underground Railroad quilt coders believe many different quilt patterns may have represented messages or clues to runaway slaves escaping north on the Underground Railroad. These patterns may have included the log cabin pattern, bear paw, flying geese and star; all these patterns are in my log cabin quilt."This Old House of ours has seen many families raised under its roof, and it has lived with them all the joys and sorrows that make up life. First, before ever there was a building here, the land looked upon some important events in the early Wallenpaupack Settlement of Pennsylvania." Chris Coutts 1977This Old House, the inspiration for my The Log Cabin Quilt Story, was built in the early 1800's. Before it was built some interesting history took place on the site of This Old House homestead in Northeastern Pennsylvania.Let's begin a long time ago, before the Revolutionary War, around the 1750's. A brave family, the Carter family settled in Pennsylvania alongside the Wallenpaupack River among the Paupackan Indians, who soon became their friends. These first white settlers built their log cabin out of logs cut in the forest, constructed a stone chimney from the rocks along the hillside, and plastered the crevices with the clay from the river. Tragedy struck when Mr. Carter and his family were killed and their house burned during the French and Indian War."The Indian Chief Paupackan's heart was sore within him for he loved his pale-face neighbor." Tales and Lore of the first Settlers, Traditions of Wallenpaupack, Helen M. Cooke 190lThe log cabin is a symbol of an expanding America and a testament to the ingenuity of the American spirit. The log cabin quilt pattern is made of pieced strips of fabric built up like logs. My log cabin quilt is set in the barn raising pattern, which depicts the community cooperation that was necessary to survive newly settle territories. |

Young Mr. Lincoln - $34.99 John Ford's fine direction distinguishes this highly fictionalized account of the early life of Abraham Lincoln. The film shows Lincoln (Henry Fonda) as he rises from a country boy born in a log cabin to a lawyer in Springfield, Illinois defending two young men unjustly accused of murder. The film, produced by Darryl F. Zanuck, received an Academy Award nomination for "Best Original Screenplay" for its screenwriter Lamar Trotti. Henry Fonda perhaps the most American of actors, is at his best playing Lincoln as the quintessential, compassionate American hero. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi |

Lincoln Shot (Paperback) $22.85 Lincoln Shot So begins this intimate portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Conceived as a one year anniversary edition of a newspaper, dated April 14, 1866, strongly evocative of the time and the nation’s mood. The moment-by-moment recital of the events of the day that ended in assassination holds readers enthralled awaiting the tragic end. The account of the flight, capture, and hanging of some of the conspirators is riveting. From there, Denenberg moves to the log cabin in Kentucky and Lincoln’s life unfolds. The boy, the man, the husband and the father is portrayed as a trifle clumsy, often unsure of himself, and plagued by dark moods. Denenberg’s Lincoln is ambitious and modest. He struggles with his role as leader as the Civil War nears.In the third part of the book, the year-by-year account of the Civil War is seen through Lincoln’s eyes. Every defeat and every victory deepens his struggle and resolve.Award-winning artist Christopher Bing evokes an 1866 newspaper with pen-and-ink scenes from Lincoln’s life: Lincoln wrestling Jack Armstrong, Lincoln taking vows with Mary Todd, Grant and Lee at Appomattox, and Booth shooting Lincoln. Rich Deas, book designer, has folded Bing’s art and sourced archival images into layouts that are undistinguishable for 1866 newspaper design. Every facet of design, from frames to advertisements, has been exactingly molded to evoke the era. The oversized vertical trim underscores the newspaper look and feel. Meticulously researched and exquisitely designed, Lincoln Shot is a uniquely inviting and accessible tribute to Lincoln, whose birth bicentennial is February 12, 2009. |
