Synopsis
Dotting the landscape from east to west, north to south, the barn is a true American icon. Barns assume a dizzying array of forms, shapes, colors, and sizes, covering a wide range of functions and styles. This paperback reissue of Randy Leffingwell's classic hardcover, The American Barn, chronicles the evolution of this ubiquitous structure as it migrated from the earliest settlements on the East Coast in the 1600s to far-flung regions of the American West.
