Understand the everyday lives of ordinary people.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Can you imagine what it would be like to both make and repair everything you needed every single day of your life? That's what life was like for many in the American colonies living away from cities and shops. By the time you were about thirty, you would already have done the work of a modern person twice that age! Good craftsmanship was a necessity, not to make these objects perfect, but to have them render many long years of service. Leaonard Everett Fischer simply explains and illustrates the making of candles, soap, brooms and cider -- all necessities of life. This book is a perfect addition to a young history student's understanding of the lives of ordinary people in colonial times.
