Book excerpt: "In Rustic, author and photographer Bret Morgan illuminates this much-loved style, giving us the definitive volume on the subject. Comprehensive in scope, Rustic visits twenty retreats that span the breadth of North America and over a century of architectural and social history. They include consummate examples of traditional rustic architecture - including the Ames Gate Lodge, H.H. Richardson's sublime pile of boulders in Massachusetts; Camp Topridge, Marjorie Merriweather Post's compound of drop-dead rustic luxury in the Adirondacks; and the Charles Millard Pratt House in southern California, an exquisite Arts and Crafts winter home designed by Greene & Greene - as well as a varied and inspiring selection of contemporary homes that includes Fortune Rock, George Howe's striking modernist home on the coast of Maine; Robert A.M. Stern's nostalgic Spruce Lodge, hidden high in the Colorado Rockies; and Ledge House, Peter Bohlin's singular masterpiece of rustic modernism in the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland." --Book Jacket.
