Description
Keeping Hearth & Home in Old Texas is a how-to book but not for you. Drawn from a wealth of authentic Victorian-era books and magazines it is like the book your great- or great-great grandmother might have read at age 17 to prepare herself for the etiquette of courting to learn how to conduct herself in public and to learn what would be required of her during marriage. Later she might have read the same book through all over again for ideas about how to arrange the parlor and how to direct her children s playtime. So welcome to the family household in old Texas. Come indoors pull up a fireside rocker and discover how the everyday rituals of a bustling nineteenth-century home can bring history to life more vividly than ever.
