Review
"No matter where you live, you will want this book as a model of vernacular architecture scholarship."--Vernacular Architecture Newsletter "An unexpected small masterpiece...that has some of the suspense of a detective story and, at times, the poignance of deeply felt, sympathetic social history."--Robert Campbell, Boston Globe "An important pioneering effort. The book commemorates both an unique indigenous architectural expression and a way of life that has become extinct . . . The style is economic and clear and Hubka's affection for architecture binds the buildings to their people and their times."--Maine Sunday Times
