Awesome

One of our favorites. Paints the picture of those days

What was it like to live in a colonial village?

What was a gristmill and how did it operate? What was a housewright, and what did he use "trunnels" for? This is a fascinating glimpse into the life of a colonial village in the year 1730. By showing people's various occupations, author James Knight offers readers a unique window into American history. Highly recommended.
