The Anglo-Texan Homeland
Anglo-Texans, a self-conscious, place-attached group, occupy a homeland. Formed through ongoing contact and conflict with Mexicans, the Anglo-Texan homeland initially expanded, then contracted, never achieving coextensivity with the state of Texas. Today a sense of cultural siege prevails within Anglo Texas, renewing the spirit of the homeland and fostering cultural strife

The American Backwoods Frontier
New Sweden's Role on the American Frontier
The author proposes that seventeenth-century Finnish settlers of the New Sweden colony on the Delaware River made some fundamental contributions to the forest colonization system utilized in the successful and rapid occupance of the eastern woodlands of North America. Such influence is selectively demonstrated in material artifacts, particularly folk architecture, carpentry, and fence building. The proposed explanatory mechanism the cultural ecol…

Preadaptation and European Colonization in Rural North America
The European colonization of rural North America and its resultant mosaic of cultures and ethnicity provided a rich subject material for historical geographers. Seven descriptive themes and concepts—region, diffusion, landscape, first effective settlement, simplification, environmental perception, and humans as modifiers of the earth—have traditionally been employed by geographers in their study of rural Euroamericans, providing an impressive emp…

American Log Buildings
Hubka admires the energy and ingenuity of his subjects in achieving respectability within the limitations of their resources.His book is the best kind of tribute to nineteenth-century rural life.It deserved the Abbott Lowell Cummings Award from the Vernacular Architecture Forum, and was the appropriate focus of a traveling exhibit, "A Good Stand of Buildings."

Perceptual Regions in Texas
PERCEPTUAL or vernacular regions are those perceived to exist by their inhabitants and other members of the population at large. They exist as part of popular or folk culture. Rather than being the intellectual creation of the professional geographer, the vernacular region is the product of the spatial perception of average people. Rather than being based on carefully chosen, quantifiable criteria, such regions are composites of the mental maps o…

Folk Architecture in Cultural and Ecological Context
The European Culture Area
Now in its fourth edition, this leading text has been extensively revised to reflect the sweeping changes the past decade have brought to Europe and to incorporate new research in the field. Employing a richly topical rather than a mechanistic region-by-region approach, the book simultaneously presents the overarching unity of Europe as a human entity and its underlying internal diversity. Inclusive, intellectual, rich in ideas, lively, controver…
Population Origins in Texas, 1850
ULTURAL and historical geographers have long recognized that studies of population origins can contribute appreciably to the understanding of the character of a region. Differences in the economic, social, and political structures can often be related to differences in origin. In most parts of the United States the study of evolving ethnic patterns does not carry the interested scholar any farther back than the early or mid-nineteenth century; fo…

Within the ante-bellum South were two distinct economic regions 1) the Lower South, composed of states fronting on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, an area dominated by the slave-cotton system, and 2) the Upper South, represented by inland states like Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Missouri, where slaveless yeoman farmers were dominant and cotton was scarce. The position of Texas in this southern dichotomy has never been adequately investigated,…

Antecedents of the Long-Lot in Texas∗
Riverine long-lot original surveys were employed in many parts of Texas for about 150 years, beginning in the Spanish period and extending well into the era of statehood. No precedent for the use of long-lots was found either in Spain or New Spain. The evidence suggests that long-lots were diffused to Texas from Central Europe, by way of northern France, Québec, and the French colonies in Missouri and Louisiana. Long-lot survey left an imprint in…

Early Northeast Texas and the Evolution of Western Ranching∗
A purely Anglo-American system of open-range cattle herding, derived from the Carolinas by way of the Upper South, was implanted in northeast Texas in the period 1820–1850. From the northeastern part of the state, bearers of this Anglo cattle tradition later moved westward with their herds and blended their heritage with that of the Spaniard, Acadian, and lower southern Anglo to form the western American cattle ranching complex

The Texan Appalachia
A distinctive culture developed in the Appalachian South by the early 1800's, typified mainly by a preservation of archaic traits, including the persistence of a frontier way of life. The bearers of this culture spread to the Ozark-Ouachita area of Missouri and Arkansas in the first half of the nineteenth century. The present paper is a documentation of a second major transplantation of the southern mountaineer—to the hills of central Texas. Evid…

Alpine, Alemannic, and American Log Architecture∗
Some methods and form elements of log architecture may have diffused from Alpine and Alemannic districts in southern Central Europe to colonial Midland America. Fundamental differences were found between these Old and New World regions in 1) log carpentry techniques, 2) house types, and 3) roof structure. By contrast, potential Alpine prototypes were found for the Pennsylvania barn, including such form elements as forebay, bank, and double-crib p…
