Lee,
Vertical log construction is French, not Hispanic. At the SHA Conference in
St. Louis a few years back, we visited three such houses on a tour. I spent
some time in the museum studying that unusual technique.

Išve recorded a 3-pen log structure in a remote part of SE Utah. It
probably dates between 1885-1905 and includes one horizontal log pen, and 2
pens built of logs placed vertically and apparently erected after the
horizontal room. There is speculation that the vertical log technique
indicates Hispanic presence. Does anyone have sources that would confirm or
refute this claim?
