Title |
Isolated Mountain Farm in East Tennessee |
Description |
Aerial view of an isolated mountain farm in east Tennessee. The photograph shows a large log house along with several outbuildings. A fence separates the fields. A mountain road is seen as well. |
Historical Note |
The log cabin is a familiar symbol of Tennessee's pioneer period. Although its use as shelter is well known, its quaint image has tended to obscure its importance as a bridge between civilization and the wilderness. The most important and enduring use of log construction occurred in the dwellings, barns, and related outbuildings of the thousands of independent farmsteads. Logs were used for the construction of smokehouses, tobacco barns, stock barns, and corn cribs. |
