Binding Type: Library Binding Published: December 2000 Annotation: From factories to farms and ballrooms to battlefields, this exciting new series uses clothing as a window through which to view our nation's ever-changing social and political climate. Through the use of engaging text, fine art illustrations, historical photographs, and living history reenactments, young readers are given a unique perspective on American history from the first settlements to the tumult of the Civil War. Life on Southern plantations was complicated and regimented, from social regulations to class structures to the clothing that people wore. Students will be fascinated by the world of hoop skirts and smelling salts that was also the same world that clothed slaves in tatters and rags. |
