Publisher's Description of Colonial Life (Historic Communities)
Category Description for Historic Communities Series
With the appeal of a field trip to a living history museum, these books provide countless details about life in another time period. With a combination of drawings, photographs, maps, and narrative stories the past is recreated in full-color. Daily life and activities are emphasized with sections on chores, going to school, clothing, travel, work, fun, various rooms in a house, barns and outbuildings, and so much more. If you've wondered how clothes were washed, food prepared, spare time spent, types of work to do, and maybe some more interesting details like how faces and hands were washed without indoor bathrooms, these books will help you understand life and living in the 1800s. 32 pgs, pb ~ Janice
