Yep. 2x4s used diagonal bracing at all the corners notched out for a 1x4 to prevent racking. Later houses were built with sheeting only at the corners to control the racking and then the rest was covered with that black insulated board.
1bys on the floor laid diagonally and 1bys on the outside and roof. How we did it when I was a kid.
Frame up the house and let it dry before putting on the sheetrock.
Lay your 1bys tight as they will shrink up and leave a gap when they dry unless you let them lay on the floor and air dry first.

On the other hand, the cost of framing lumber isn't that large of cost compared to everything else needed to finish a house. When you compare the cost of the mill, time, and labor, etc. unless you are making a log house which may give you trouble framing windows and doors.
