Over a century ago, when he first wrote this little guide, William Sydney Wicks (1854-1919) whimsically observed that while early man lived in nature out of necessity, modern man has taken to the woods by choice. Wicks was a highly successful architect whose imprint can still be seen throughout Buffalo, New York, in dozens of churches, hotels, libraries, houses, and other structures. For several years, he was also Buffalo's park commissioner. Wicks' lovely little how-to manual--complete with simple diagrams and step-by-step details--is the ideal dream book for people who think of someday building their own rustic cottage.
