Abstract (en)

Examines the authors' central thesis, that the material culture and techniques that allowed successful forest colonization resulted from the combination of Savo-Karelian Finnish culture and the indigenous culture of eastern woodland Indians, notably the Delawares. Also comments on their discussion of backwoods architecture, construction techniques, and building types, and on their argument that the dogtrot was not an American invention but derived from the Finnish double-pen farmhouse.
