Excerpt from The Patterson Log Cabin America has gone a long way beyond log cabin days and sentiments. But it is not a bad thing to preserve a tangible reminder of the days when our forefathers struggled to win this country from the savages and create a dwelling place for those who came after them. Perhaps these re minders may serve as silent antidotes to the fierce pace which luxury keeps in this republic; the republic begun with so much privation, self-sacri fice and bravery and ending in such widespread luxury and extravagance. The one-roomed log cabin now standing on the triangular piece of ground at the' junction of Main and Brown Streets, south of Dayton, was built by Colonel Robert Patterson, the grand father of Mr. John H. Patterson. Its situation was originally at Lexington, Kentucky, where it was one of the earliest houses erected. Since then it has had three sites since its first owner and his pioneer friends hewed the trees, shaped the logs and piled them into walls in the depth of the Kentucky wilderness.
