Sod Walls by Roger Welsch | Lee Booksellers

The sod house has all but vanished from the Great Plains, where once it was one of the most common dwellings. On the vast, treeless expanse the settlers found when they came to the Midwest, they built their homes of the only material readily at hand- "prairie marble." Here Welsch tells the story of the soddies from site selection and sod cutting to roof construction, windows, doors, and interior design. Illustrated with over 100 drawings and photographs.
