Log Cabin History
Log construction was a pro
digious tool in the development
of this nation, from 1638 until
the last stakes of the Frontier
were driven in the Pacific. The
general fact is no news to most
readers. But what about that
specific date of 1638?
Didn’t
the orignal settlers from old Eng
land start making homes in Vir
ginia in 1607 and in New Eng
land in 1620? And was not every
such home a log cabin—another
example of the native invent
iveness, adaptability, ingenuity
and related glorious virtues of
the British stock?
Mr. Stewart H. Holbrook ans
wers that last question with a
resounding “No” in hi3 new book,
Lost Men of American History—
the most instructive and enter
taining volume of its kind that I
have read in many a day. Such
top-rank historians as Allen Nev
ins and Benard De Voto de
scribe the book as a volume of
highest historical importance. The
eastern reviewers likewise give
it great praise.
English Wigwams
But now that question of the
log cabin.
Historian Holbrook
makes it plain that neither Cap
tain Joespb Smith nor Governor
Bradford “ever lived in a log
cabin, and probably neither of
them ever saw one.” And then:
“The log cabin's first appearance
was in 1638, when members of the
Swedish West India Company set
up a trading post and village on
the shore of Delaware Bay.” That
is what the book says—the Swedes
brought us the log cabin in 1638,
while the English settlers were
were yet mostly living in miser
able “English wigwams.”
These dwellings were a com
bination pattern of the miner's
hut in Wales and the Indian’s
wigwam. “They were constructed,’
says Mr. Holbrook, “of woodbine
or grapevine, steamed and bent to
form a skeleton shaped something
like the frame top of a covered
wagon. The skeleton was then
covered with thatch made of such
reeds or heavy grasses as best
came to hand. Heat for warmth
and cooking came from an open
fire, not a fireplace as we knolv
it, inside.’ For many years the
frame houses that were built
were also thatched. Even the
English of Delaware, living beside
the tight, dry and comfortable
log cabins of the Swedes, were so
bullheaded that they resisted
change from their unhealthful,
wet wigwams for scores of years.
Such are skimmings from just
the first five pages of the grand
new book by Stewart Holbrook,
who came out of these woods ten
years ago to become one of the
first men of American letters.
Great Stories All
In his introduction “Hols’ Hol
brook, as our historian will ever
be to me, makes this powerful
point: “No authentic American,
native or adopted, need pay any
heed to the tub-thumpers for
American democracy. All he need
know is something of the men
and women who made this country
what it is today.” Many of these
men and women, he declares, have
been lost in the conventional his
tories of dramatic events and
dazzling personalities.
In this
book, he gives the neglected their
K
just due.
So the era of colonial settle
ment is projected through the
Swedish colonists who built the
first log cabins in America, and
the Revolution is approached
through Sam Adams, “the Great
Agitator.” Sergeant Ezra Lee
with his Turtle, the first sub
marine, and private Deborah
Simpson of the Continental Army,
have stories you should know.
How well posted are you on the
tremendous joint part played by
Philosopher Herbert Spencer and
Author Horatio Alger, Jr., in
giving form and foundation to the
continuing tradition of American
Free Private Enterprise? What
dirt did the elegant journalist,
Richard Harding Davis, do the
really great General William Ruf
us Shafter in the War with
Spain ? Who is or was Ignatius
Donnelly, and how did he happen
to be the real father of the new
Deal?
Such questions, and many more,
are dealt with by Mr. Holbrook
in Lost Men of American History;
first of all, to give readers more
facts on “the men and women
who made this country what it is
today;” and then to portray
character and narrate history in
a gripping 3tyle. There is ab
solutely no bettei new book on
the market. It is on the' market,
and I’ll tell you where if you
wTant to ask me on a postcard.
The Old Settler . . .
Songs and tales from away back
are wheeling in my head. Among
them are the full eight stanzas
of the ballad, “The Old Settler,”
which Singer Ivar Haglund has
rescued from away yonder in the
1880’s. It reads right well, and
is a prime item for your scrap
book.
I’ve traveled all over this country,
Prospecting and digging for
. gold:
I've tunneled, hydraulicked and
cradled,
And I have been frequently sold.
So rolling my grub in a blanket,
I left my tools on the ground,
And started one morning to shank
it
For a country they called Puget
Sound.
Arriving flat broke in midwinter,
I found it enveloped in fog.
And covered all over with timber
Thick as hair on the back of
a dog.
I took up a claim in the forest
And set myself down to hard
toil.
Two years I chopped and I la
bored,
But I never got down to the
soil.
I tried to get out of the country.
But poverty forced me to stay
Until I became an old settler—
Then nothing could drive me
away.
And now that I*m used to the
climate,
I think that if man ever found
A place to be peaceful and quiet
That spot it is on Puget Sound.
No longer a slave of ambition.
I laugh at the world and its
shams.
As I think of my happy condition.
Surrounded by acres of clams.

State Gas Use
At Record High
Oregon motorists burned a re
cord 250,000,000 gallons of gaso
line in the first nine months of
this year, it was announced by
Secetary of State Robert S.
Farrell Jr.
This fuel is estimated to have
carried them three billion miles.
Taxes on the record fuel sale
netted the state $12,394,923,
even after refunds, had been made
to non-highway users. This is a
62 per cent gain over last year.
Gross sales for the month of
September alone amounted to
almost 36,000,000 gallons.
It’s not hard to see how huge
a scale traffic problems have
assumed,” said Farrell, ‘“when
you find Oregon drivers piling up
almost half a billion miles a
month on the highways of the
state.”
September’s consumption was
the third largest for any month
this year, with August and July
taking first and second place
respectively.

Who are the “enterprisers” who
make up our free competitive
enterprise system that has made
America great and which will,
without strangling controls, keep
it great.
They are your neighbors—the
doctor, the grocer, the farmer, the
small manufactureer.
One of them invests his savings
in a stock of groceries. He hires a
clerk, who also delivers orders.
He Takes the Risk
The two jobs he created cost
the grocer the total investment
that he has in store equipment, in
groceries, in a truck, and in cred
its advanced to his customers.
The risks of not making a suc
cess of it are his to take.
If he suceeds, the jobs are se
cure. and the families they sup
port are secure.
If he fails, his savings are lost,
and two men look for work.
The grocer is an enterpriser.
His group in our economy—the
about or.e-fourth of all the jobs
created in America.
Or, your neighbor is a farmer.
With the years, he increases his
investment, and with it, the wel
fare of his family. He too is an
enterpriser. His group—agricul
ture— supplies another fourth of
all the jobs created in our land.
