As winter drags on I marvel at how those early settlers survived. I have a theory. They must have all showed up in the Spring of the year and thought, wow this is nice, built a cabin, planted a garden. Then when winter came they must have figured, well, we are already here might as well stick it out.
I also think the small simple little cabin was more efficient to heat and everybody bundled up.
