1899 Child Life in Colonial Days

Description

First Edition, Illustrated

In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. Alice Morse Earle (1851-1911) was an American historian and author. She focused on small sociological details and her works are consequently invaluable for modern social historians. She wrote a number of books on colonial America (and especially the New England region) such as Curious Punishments of Bygone Days. This work concerns childhood in colonial America, with chapters including Children's Dress, School, Games and Pastimes, Oldtime Discipline, Penmanship and Letters, and Children's Toys.
