Customs and Fashions of Old New England by Alice Morse Earle first published by Charles Scribner’s Sons 1893.

Narrator’s comment: This book is quite wonderful, a slice of life from another time, at once fun, interesting, and real history. Alice Morse Earle is great! (And not easy to read at times, due to the spelling of the quoted diaries, letters, and so forth.)
