Dave Duffy, senior editor of Backwoods Home Magazine, has been scanning old photos. That led to the founding of the publication. The house he was building in the Oregon woods so many years ago inspired the idea for the magazine and was the topic of the main article in the first issue. He thought many people would want to do what he had done. It led to 29 years of teaching and inspiring of self-reliant people, from long-time farmers and homesteaders to people living in the city and wanting to get out. Backwoods Home Magazine has had (and continues to have) a big impact on people. Dave has been posting photos from the early days of the magazine on his Twitter account here. https://twitter.com/backwoodshome?mc_cid=4cad7213fb&mc_eid=4861aab6d9
