Michael Ann Williams, Director of Folk Studies and Anthropology at Western Kentucky University, is the editor of Vernacular Architecture Newsletter.
"Williams has captured in the words of her oral informants a way of life that must have been very common throughout most regions of America from the seventeenth century through the Civil War.... Few other books that have studied American vernacular architecture of this period have been able to recover so much fragile, but important, information about housing in such a coherent and convincing fashion.
(Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians)"[Williams’s] assessment of the abandonment and sometimes willful destruction of the traditional homeplace will prove of considerable interest to preservationists.... Of most importance, her work will force readers, and hopefully some historical writers, to give thought to the use of internal space and perhaps the desire to seek out materials about the ways in which people lived within domestic structures.
