Embark on the voyage of discovery our forefathers made when they
crossed the Atlantic and settled in the New World. This is the
world of Early Settler Life beginning with the first log cabins
in the wilderness, to the first hamlets, villages, towns, and
cities.
More than 100 contemporary photographs, engravings, and
lithographs in each book enhance the descriptions of the
hardships, the victories, and the joys of the people who built
the new land.
Early Family Home
In a settler home, everyone in the family pitched in to share the
workload. Women took care of the household while men tended the
crops and livestock. Girls were taught how to become good wives
and mothers and fathers taught their sons the skills they would
need
as a farmer or perhaps a craftsman. Discover:
- how the settlers cleared the land
- the first homes they built
- gathering by the fireplace for light and warmth
- the search for a water supply
- early ways of fighting sickness
- making their own clothes
- quilting and barn-raising bees with the help of
neighbors
