Summary
"[This book] will lead the student to a livelier understanding of seventeenth-century America through study of the architecture and the furnishings of the home as we know them from surviving examples...and from other contemporary evidence. The structures and the objects illustrated are presented not as museum pieces but as intimate reflections of the times, the circumstances, and the people by whom or for whom they were made. A good cross section of examples is provided, but where there is a scarcity of original materials the student is warned against generalizing from insufficient data." [from the introduction]
