Husbandmen of Plymouth: Farms and Villages in the Old colony 1620-1692

Husbandmen of Plymouth: Farms and Villages in the Old colony 1620-1692

Darrett B. Rutman
4/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
These picturesque, well-organized New England towns which have such a central place in the popular American concept of the colonial era did not, obviously, spring suddenly into being as finished entities. Before them lay a period of development in which the colonial community was "a straggling sort of place" made up largely of neighboring farms.

It is to this earlier era that Darrett Rutman has turned to produce this brief, engaging portrait of the initial stage of successful colonization in what was to become the United States of America. Here is a rare view of the lives and concerns of America's first pioneers -- their crops, their homes, their daily patterns of work.

Students of the period will find particularly engrossing the "inventories" of the physical possessions of three specific farm families which Rutman has made from old wills; they emerge as vivid indexes to a vanished way of life.
