This charming volume was written in a day when good description was considered as much a virtue as bold interpretation. Brimming with detail, it takes us into the homes of the American colonists so that we may experience firsthand such things as the kitchen fireside, the serving of meals, flax culture, wood culture, spinning, and hand-weaving. It provides a vibrant overview of girls occupations, styles of dress, travel, transportation, tavern life, colonial neighborliness, even old-time flower gardens. After countless printings, Home Life in Colonial Days continues to be the most highly respected account of daily life in the early years of America. This title, originally published in 1975, is available on-demand only.
