Antique American Boston Drawing Harold Robert Surtleff
Harold Robert Shurtleff (January 6, 1883 – December 6, 1938) was an American painter.Shurtleff was an alumnus of Harvard University. He worked as head of the restoration department at Colonial Williamsburg. He also wrote a book titled The Log Cabin Myth: A Study of the Early Dwellings of the English Colonists in North America. This book showed that log cabins were only present in the Delaware valley, and not elsewhere in colonial north America.
