Book excerpt: Written in 1898, Home Life in Colonial Days is a remarkably vivid and immediate portrayal of domestic life in the Thirteen Colonies during the period encompassing 1492-1763. Alice Morse Earle was a pioneer both as an early female historian and a popular practitioner of social history before that term was invented. The book is a fascinating study not only of its immediate subject but also of how gender issues through the years, in the Colonial period, and the latter age in which Earle was writing.
