Pioneer Homes
Pioneers were very careful about choosing a place to build their homes. They had to have water nearby for drinking and cooking. They also needed many trees around. These were used for building the home and for making fires. The other thing they needed was good soil to grow food.
When the pioneers built a home, they put the walls up first. They cut logs and made slots so they would fit together. Then, they set one log on top of another to make a wall. The roof went last. It was made of big pieces called "clapboard." Then, they covered the roof with bark from the trees.
