Customs and Fashions in Old New England


Read by Ted Lienhart

(5 stars; 3 reviews)

Alice Morse Earle was an antiquarian historian of the New England region where she was raised. But rather than focusing as most historians did on political and military events or the lives of society elites, Earle investigated the homely details of the everyday lives of ordinary people. Her works would later often be cited within the emerging field of Social History. - Summary by Ted Lienhart (11 hr 9 min)
