Men, Women Manners in Colonial Times, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) by Sydney Geo Fisher Pdf

Excerpt from Men, Women Manners in Colonial Times, Vol. 2 That the English title was superior to the Dutch is now no longer doubted, and the question has been authoritatively settled by the courts of New York. It seems strange that the ancient Dutch occupation and the voyages of the Cabots and Hudson should become prafiical questions of modern times in a litigation of the New York elevated railways.

Men, Women & Manners in Colonial Times by Sydney George Fisher Pdf

“In travelling from Massachusetts to the Carolinas one passed through communities of such distinct individuality that they were almost like different nations,” writes author Sidney George Fisher in his preface to Men, Women & Manners in Colonial Times, in which he presented the history and culture of colonial America to his Gilded Age contemporaries, who he felt had lost an appreciation of the fascinating circumstances that created the Founding Fathers and the Revolution. In the almost two hundred years of colonial life preceding the Revolution, the colonies displayed a remarkable variety, from their religion, politics, and countries of origin, to their dress, lifestyles, and character. Fisher cites primary documents such as colonial newspapers and the diaries of common men and women as well as famous political figures. He addresses the credibility of legends of our forefathers still told today (George Washington “was an extremely sociable man, and he could not have lived in Virginia and been otherwise”) and the riveting colonial folklore lost to the ages (for instance, “John Randolph, of Virginia, who, seeing a drove of mules passing through Washington on their way to the South, said to Marcy, of Connecticut, ‘There go some of your constituents.’ ‘Yes,’ said Marcy, ‘going to Virginia to teach school.’ ”). Discover colonial architecture, illustrated here with photogravures, and colonial pastimes, including the favorites of George Washington and much of colonial Virginia: card playing and foxhunting. Learn the outstanding literary tradition of Massachusetts, the regularity of fighting off bears in New Hampshire, the popularity of horseracing in Maryland, Blackbeard’s headquarters in North Carolina, the women who ran the South Carolina plantations, the cleanliness of the New York Dutch as they contemplated “their comfort and prosperity while they smoked their pipes . . . willing that the rest of the world would enjoy the same pleasure.”

Men, Women & Manners in Colonial Times by Sydney Geo Fisher Pdf

The charm of the journey (through the colonies of VA, MA, CT, RI, NH, PA, NJ, NY, MD, Carolina, and GA) is in its variety, with communities of such striking individuality that they assume the character of different nations. Each colony has a set of opinions and laws peculiar to itself. This text explores the settlement and history of each colony prior to the American Revolution. At least one prominent person from each colony is discussed, amongst them William Penn of Penn, John Smith of VA, George Calvert of MD, and General Oglethorpe of GA.
