My Absolute Favorite

As a reenactor/interpreter of life in America in the late 18th/early 19th Century, my primary interest is in the day to day life of common people during those times. This book provided an in depth, well organized, and "digestable" look at that topic.

This book brings life to historic homes

At Home gives detailed descriptions of the daily routine "behind the scenes" for families and houses from 1750-1870. This book provides valuable background for understanding the lives of people who inhabited the historic homes that I take my interior design students to visit. We can appreciate the objects, furniture, and furnishings much more when we realize how they were used and how much work it took to maintain them!
