Book excerpt: Distributed by the University of Nebraska Press for the University of Idaho Press Attebery addresses aspects of the New Western History by exploring how the log cabin myth is part of the larger myth of the Frontier West. She argues that scholars interested in understanding log construction must look beyond the myth for evidence of the log cabin's particular meanings within the communities that used log buildings in Idaho.
