It's an odd book, which has been out for over a decade. To be honest, I doubt if it ever sold any good numbers at all. You can still find it on Amazon.
It's a book you can read over in a week, and covers everyday American life for a fifty year period in the colonial years. I would actually like to make it a mandatory reading for every fifteen year old kid in America because it really paints a harsh environment where people were lucky to live to be forty years old.
The book covers love, romance, marriage, houses, food, coffee, entertainment, booze, and just about every situation you can imagine for that period.
In the end....you came away impressed on how people survived and enjoyed what little they did have. Just having one pair of shoes....would have been a great achievement for most folks. So if you needed some reading material over American history that would entertain you....order the book and settle back for good reading.
