Abstract:

The first century of European immigrant history in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina was without commercial tobacco, thus requiring no specialized barn. As settlement came to the area, farm families built barns to house their livestock. Now becoming more rare, these pre-tobacco livestock barns can be spotted by their log crib and steep gable roofs covered in tin.
