New York: Random House, 1987. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 10 1/2h x 9w. A nice 214 page first edition hardcover. Dust jacket has a little damage bottom spine with a small piece missing and a little general wear. Overall a very nice item. from dust jacket flap. re-creates the United State's very first days of nationhood through the lives of four ordinary people: a Massachusetts merchant and patriarch who greets the war less than warmly, a struggling yeoman farmer descended from indentured servants, a tobacco-planting slave owner in tidewater Virginia whose ambitions prove ill-aimed, and the free black founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in bustling Philadelphia. Using the evidence of the everyday world - clothing, houses, and furniture, the tools and products of tradespeople and homemakers - Barbara Clark Smith evokes the texture of daily life, and shows the ripple effects of distant events from political battles to trade innovations and technological upheavals..

About Warren's Books
I have been selling books since 1976. I am not a mega-lister that just types in an ISBN and paste a message of how great I am or how many books we\I sell. I list each book carefully trying to tell the faults and positives of our book. Most of the time I will tell what the book is about and list if it a first edition, hardcover or has a dust jacket. Photos of books are usually my scan and not a stock photo. If you have any questions, please ask. If you decide to pay with check or money order, please make it out to Warren Hahn, That's me!! I have about 5,200 books online with another 200 to list.
