  If I recall correctly, the first well-made log cabins in N
America  were made by the Swedes who settled in the area near
the Delaware/PA boundary. See Terry Jordan's articles and a book
or two on the log cabin as vernacular architecture... he's a
geography professor, specializing in historical geography, at
the University of Texas. He was at North Texas State but got
away from 'em.
