Brimming with hands-on activities and fascinating text, this handsome book brings America's past to life. It contains more than three dozen historically accurate projects that allow young readers to create tools, household goods, and other commonly used items of the 18th and 19th centuries. Contained in the book are activities that celebrate the amazing and little-known material culture of the Southeast Indians; the quilting tradition of African-American slaves; and more than a dozen crafts from the late Colonial era. Each project includes detailed background information that explains the item's cultural relevance, easy-to-follow instructions, and a photograph illustrating the finished project.
