Seller's Description:
Very Good. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. First published in 1950, this book is the 1972 paperback printing, 214 pages, illustrated. "For the first time, craftsmen are studied as people and they and their families are shown in their place in American society." VERY GOOD SOFTCOVER.
This is one of he earliest treatises on colonial craftsmen. It became a book after he delivered a series of lectures on the topic. It was lightly footnoted when he made the conversion. It is general due tot he fact that it's so early but still packed with valuable insights. Modern day scholars have flushed out the study as Bridenbaugh would have expected. Many criticize him but all footnote this small work on an important topic.
