TENT - Mongolian Cloud Houses

[Tanya Guptill]

Gabriel,

We are glad you found this group, too :)

Sunjan is our original Horde Instigator.  Almost every An Tirian yurt can trace
its construction, plans, or influence back to her.

You mentioned that you are starting from scratch--if you are interested in yurts,
you may want to start with Torvald Faegre's book--TENTS-Archicture of the
Nomads.  It is often available by inter-library loan, and has some good line
drawing and accurate information.  Bibliofind only shows on copy for sale, at
about $70, so I'd try the library first :)

If you have comments, questions or ideas, please feel free to pass them along.
