Have You Heard of the Steiner Cabins?

Henry was just getting started. With the help of his wife and older children, he began building the small log cabins that today bear his name. All the building materials came directly from the site – logs from Doug fir trees, roofing shakes from cedar trees, stones for the fireplace and chimney from nearby streams—and the whole family worked. Mollie and the girls peeled the logs, helped build the windows; Papa and the boys felled the trees, split the shakes, and sledgehammered boulders into flat fireplace stones.
