My Year In A Log Cabin — William Dean Howells / W.D. Howells

William Dean Howells, author of The Rise of Silas Lapham, lived in a log cabin for a year when he was a young boy before he and his family moved to Columbus, Ohio. My Year In a Log Cabin, written in the realist style Howells is known for, is an entertaining and heartfelt reminiscence of that year.
