A
light-hearted look at
outhouse necessity and
nostalgia with
picturesque photos of
privies from across the country, this book
answers real-life questions about these once common buildings and the role they played.
Topics covered include: what you did when the outhouse was "off-limits," why so many people buried treasure around outhouses, and how the crescent moon became its universal symbol.
With photography from California, Nevada, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Maine, Outhouses uses first-hand accounts and little-known facts to take a nostalgic look back at life before indoor plumbing.
