You cut logs of the same length for the front and back walls, and for the two side walls. You notch these logs, top and bottom, at both ends, cutting a square "notch' several inches wide all the way across, and several inches deep at the deepest part. When you stack the logs you fit these notches together so they lock the logs in place. If you are really alone you might have to use two or three smaller poles as ramps to slide the heavy top logs up into position. You cut a doorway in after you have the logs stacked, and connect the ends of the logs there with a half of a split log to make the door facings. You chink the spaces between the logs with mud. You need a hearthstone inside and a chimney. Rock is best but you could make a chimney from sticks and mud. For a roof you put up poles so they peak at the middle, and then poles running across. The best roof would be shake-shingles, but you need a froe to rive these from a log. These are flat pieces of wood three or four inches wide and eight or ten inches long, maybe a quarter of an inch thick, split away from a log.

What was the Log Cabin Act?
A log cabin is typically a structure built from wood, similar to a house. They were used as an early form of housing and were typical of frontier settlements. As the name indicates, they are made of logs which are notched at each end and stacked cross-wise to form the walls of each room. The logs might be sawed or chopped a the sides to make them square. The logs were then chinked with clay or mud and windows and doors were cut and framed in. The roofs were often made of split logs or sometimes thatched over a log framework. After saw mills were set up, board siding could be added and roofs could be made of boards and covered with wooden shingles. You can still get them today, they're seeing a resurgance, especially in holiday locations such as the Lake District in the UK. They're also now quite popular in the garden as a way of creating alternative space, such as a games room or music studio.s/
