Early midwestern settlers lived in them...two-thirds below ground to protect them from the elements; or sometimes into the side of a hill.
It is HIDEOUS! Dirt floors and walls; about 12'x15' with a five foot ceiling. Like living in a grave!
Can you imagine spending the five months of an Iowa winter inside of that?!
The people that settled this country were truly something.
