Gave this as a gift to a friend who actually has an outhouse on her 40 acres of woods. She loved it!
A one-of-a-kind presentation of an oft-overlooked aspect of pioneer and pre-industrial daily life

Showcasing the work of photographers Nick Cedar, William G. Simmonds and Jim Umhoefer, Outhouses by Holly L. Bollinger is a photographic and historical reflection upon the role that the once-necessary outhouse has played in the human past. Once thought of as a place of unpleasant odors and lack of comfort, they are now esteemed as hallmarks of the simple life, and a bygone age when America's ancestors lived closer to the land. In addition to more than 100 full color photographs of a wide variety of outdoor privies nestled amid breathtaking scenery, Outhouses includes a written overview of what life was like before indoor plumbing, with poems, songs, and humorous tidbits about the outhouse's place in American folklore. A one-of-a-kind presentation of an oft-overlooked aspect of pioneer and pre-industrial daily life.
