Description:
The respected and widely read social critic, Carey Mcwilliams, shows how the causal logic and repressive technique of inquisators in the U.S. duriing the 40s and 50s are the same as those practiced by the Inquisition by the Salem theocracy and by all other societies which sought to clothe their weaknesses, contraditons, and tensions by the creation of heresy and the persecution of witches. Ex-lib with all that that implies. There's a bit of underlining here and there.

On display in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. is the only uniform worn by George Washington known to survive. As a rare artifact it is priceless; but it also has value for what it can tell us about everyday life during a significant period in American history.

Using Washington's uniform as a model, Donald Tunnicliff Rice takes us through the many steps necessary to make an eighteenth-century garment. Along the way we learn a great deal about the colonies'—and the new nation's—social structure, economy, industry, foreign relations,… Read More
