Title
Benjamin Littler Cabin, Mahaska County, Iowa, mid 19th Century
Description
Much of the livelihood of Mahaska County, and for that matter, Iowa, has depended on farming, and the success each year brings. Pictured here is a small cabin built by and lived in by Benjamin Littler of Mahaska County, Iowa. Most farmers did not have a lot of money, especially during the 19th Century. The work was hard, and the entire family had to act as a cohesive unit in order to have success in the fields. Living was simple, as depicted by the photograph here. Today, the Ben Littler cabin has been moved from its original location to the Nelson Pioneer Farm in Oskaloosa, Iowa
