- Synopsis
- Originally published in 1899, this book is a social history of the life of children in colonial America. The author conducted extensive research, examining letters and diaries, church and court records, newspapers, early textbooks, and objects such as toys and household implements to gather information about child-rearing practices before the Revolution. Topics include schooling, religious training, discipline, work, games and pastimes, and folkways pertaining to flowers. The 1993 introduction helps to put this work in context.
