Buel, Joy Day and Buel, Richard Jr The Way of Duty, A Woman and Her Family in Revolutionary America
W W Norton & Company 1985 Softcover used
preface: . . "Altogether, these documents have allowed us to piece together a surprisingly complete life of Mary Fish. What follows is, however, an account of more than one woman and her family. In telling their story we have found that the nature of the material required us to juxtapose the great public events of the period - the religious revival know as the Great Awakening, the trials and perplexities of the revolutionary struggle, the growing secularization of society, the westward migration, the rise of Jeffersonian democracy, and the advent of the Industrial Revolution - with the persistant patterns and daily routines of family and community life. It also enabled us to present, in popular narrative form, some of the recent scholarly findings in the fields of social and political history, and to show how public and private spheres impinged on one another. Since many of Mary's experiences were shared by her contemporaries, and she brought to them a set of values common to her time and place, her story illuminates the lives of countless ordinary people who passed through an extraordinary period of American history."Condition: Cover has rubbing wear, creases, and wear to the edges and corners.
