SMITH, BARBARA CLARK. After The Revolution: The Smithsonian History Of Everyday Life In The Eighteenth Century.
Pantheon Books and National Museum of American History, New York: 1985. 0394543815 / 9780394543819 First Edition. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Very good condition.
From America's foremost and most popular museum of history comes a stunning book (and a major new permanent exhibit) that will completely change the way we think about the American past. After the Revolution re-creates the United State's very first days of nationhood through the lives of four ordinary people: a Massachusetts merchant and patriarch who greets the war less than warmly, a struggling yeoman farmer descended from indentured servants, a tobacco-planting slaveowner in tidewater Virginia whose ambitions prove ill-aimed, and the free black founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in bustling Philadelphia. Using the evidence of the everyday world - clothing, houses, and furniture, the tools and products of tradespeople and homemakers - Barbara Clark Smith evokes the texture of daily life, and shows the ripple effects of distant events from political battles to trade innovations and technological upheavals. Includes an Index.
