"From the earliest log barns, hand-hewn and no bigger than sheds, to the huge, truss-framed Wells barns with their cathedral-like interiors, barns were, for nearly 200 years, of central importance to the men and women of the Genesee Country. Photographer and historian Daniel Frink in this lively and authoritative study has illuminated the social, economic and architectural history of these barns using contemporary records and original photographs." (dj) And wow! What a volume! You don't have to live anywhere near the Northeast to appreciate this regional treatment of barns.
