My GGrand Parents were awarded Homestead rights as Grand Dad was a Civil War Veteran to a small holding of Land in Kentucky. The first Building done was a two Room Cabin of log Construction. The "Chinking "used was comprised of several elements. Some Tree Bark ,some Tree Wood slivers and Moss, and other things were used to Chink in between the Logs as needed. all these different fillers for the cracks between the logs was Plastured with a Bank Run Clay,Wood Ash,Salt and Animal Grease mixed together to form a Stucco.This Plaster was in side and out over the Log Joint.The Homestead stood until after 1933 when Grandma died and the place was sold to another party.The Cabin was heated with a small Wood burning Stove which over heated and set the House on Fire. No one knew that a Case of Dynamite and Fuse were stored in the Attic and when the Fire got to the Attic a huge Explosion occured and no more Homestead and about 5 less members of that Family who were standing around watching the Fire burn. This happened in 1935 and I was born just down the road in 1937 and as a little Kid I remember the Stories of when Grand Dads House blew up.
