{"product_id":"built-in-texas-francis-edward-abernethy-9781574410921","title":"Built in Texas","description":"A book of folk building in Texas, that ranges across the state in word and photograph. It explores the pine buildings of settlers in East Texas, those of oak in the Western Cross Timbers, and the rock homes of European migrants into Central Texas. West Texans of the Pecos, who had neither rocks nor logs to build with, mixed mud and grass, made adobe brick, and built in traditions borrowed from the Mexican-Indian population already settled there. These were the folk, building out of the environment, wasting nothing, building forms to suit their needs. Germans, Poles, Norse, and Alsatians coming straight from the Old World with their countries' ways of building in mind had to adapt to the new materials and learn from the older Anglo settlers the methods of putting the materials together. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBuilt in Texas\u003c\/i\u003e is divided into Methods and Materials; Style and Form; Barns and Outbuildings; Gates and Fences; Holding Water; Restoration and Preservation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francis Edward Abernethy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 157441092X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781574410921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 10.50w x 0.83d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2000 pg. 51","brand":"Francis Edward Abernethy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447921324287,"sku":"9781574410921","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b17464f5-6562-4a01-9dd0-fdb09faf4af7.jpg?v=1777235717","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/built-in-texas-francis-edward-abernethy-9781574410921","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
