Woods's Two Years' Residence, E. W. T.: Thwaites, x, 274-78: and Flint's Letters, ib. ix, 69.
In southwestern Indiana, in 1818, Faux "saw nothing ... but miserable log holes, and a mean ville of eight or ten huts or cabins, sadly neglected farms, and indolent, dirty, sickly, wild-looking inhabitants." (Faux's Journal, Nov. 1, 1818, ib. xi, 213-14.) He describes Kentucky houses as "miserable holes, having one room only," where "all cook, eat, sleep, breed, and die, males and females, all together." (Ib. 185, and see 202.)
