Log cabins and small log cabin construction was introduced to North America in the 1700s when Swedish
settlers brought building customs from their home country. The Homestead Act of 1862 influenced the design
of America’s log cabins. The Homestead Act gave "homesteaders" rights to open land, however,
it required that they cultivate the land and build homes or small cabins at least ten by twelve feet in
size, with at least one glass window.
