This photo of a log cabin store room is interesting. . . . not because of what is shown, but what is missing. It wasn't that long ago that the TV, computer, electricity, phones, cars, indoor plumbing and refrigeration were unknown. Look around the storeroom and you will see a few pots, a keg, some chairs, a few handtools, a couple of sacks (probably seeds or flour), some chains and not much more. In the early 1800s, this might be considered all the "essentials" needed to insure a comfortable life on the frontier. Even the rough flooring was considered a luxury as many log cabins had just a dirt floor.
