I have an old bibliography of log architecture with about 1400 entries (including modern revival material as well as 19th C. rustic work, etc., and vernacular).  Unfortunately, it no longer exists in electronic form with the exception of on one of my old computers.  (An upgrade is on my to-do list...)

As I recall, Gritzner and John Winberry are the authorities on log architecture in the southwest.  In addition to Gritzner's dissertation, already cited, see:

David Davidson, "Log Building in the San Francisco Peaks Area of Northern Arizona," _Southwest Folklore_ 1 (Summer, 1977): 1-28.

Charles F. Gritzner, "Construction Materials in a Folk Housing Tradition:  Considerations Governing Their Selection in New Mexico," _Pioneer America_ 6, No. 1 (January, 1974): 25-39.
[In addition to horizontal log arch., he also discusses the vertical log or palisade "jacal" building tradition, as well as adobe, masonry, etc.]

Charles F. Gritzner, "Hispanic Log Construction (Photo Essay)," _El Palacio_ 85, No. 4 (Winter 1979/1980): 20-29.

Charles F. Gritzner, "Log Housing in New Mexico," _Pioneer America_ 3, No. 2 (July, 1971): 54-62.

John J. Winberry, "The Log House in Mexico:  Distribution, Origin and Diffusion," Diss., (Baton Rouge, LA:  Louisiana State University, 1971).

John J. Winberry, "The Log House in Mexico," _Annals of the Association of American Geographers_ 64, No. 1 (March, 1974): 54-69.
