fun old school book on cabin/vacation home design and construction
if you want to design a cabin or home like one your grandparents may have had, this is a nice book to get some ideas from-- or just to take a trip down memory lane. Fun to look at. I got it for the ideas for outside fireplaces and cooking areas. The book contains information on site selection, styles and materials of cabins and cottages, and chapters on the basics of log, frame, stone and adobe construction methods. There is a chapter showing various floor plans, from a simple open sided hunting shelter to one room cabins to larger structures with several rooms. Chapters on fireplace construction, outdoor grills and firepits, and a chapter on cabin miscellany where making rustic furniture and fixtures, some considerations for water supply, sewage and the like are briefly discussed. First published in the 1940s, bear in mind that modern construction methods and building codes might change the actual construction these days, if you are located in any area that enforces building codes.

good book of early accounts of our first National Park, Yellowstone.
We go to Yellowstone National Park quite a bit, and it's history has always fascinated me. M. Mark Miller has collected a number of accounts from various people in the park's history, that provide some interesting glimpses into the park in earlier days. Broken up into a series of stand-alone accounts, it's a great book for when you just want to take a few moments and read a chapter.

great short story collection about the history of Yellowstone National Park
If you have enjoyed visiting Yellowstone National Park, or have plans on visiting, you would probably enjoy this book. It is a historical look back, with the author telling stories of interest in the park over the time frame between the time that mountain man John Colter discovered what would be called 'Colter's Hell', up until the early 20th century. It is essentially a collection of short stories that cover a wide variety of topics from the surveying parties that mapped the park, early tourists, visiting people from other countries, early tourists and workers in the park, often using original documents and sources such as diaries or letters, to tell something about a place in the park. Great book for when you want to read something short around the campfire or before bed. Highly recommend it!
