Customs and Fashions in Old New England
Upheld by diaries, church records, newspaper accounts, letters and household inventories, Alice Morse Earle (1851 –1911), an American historian and author, created a picturesque, fascinating study of everyday life in 17th and 18th century New England. The book covers child life, travel, taverns, table blandishments, home interiors, courtship, marriage, sports, diversions, medicine along with funeral and burial customs. This 1893 work appears to be an easily readable classic about our American past.
