2.0 out of 5 stars
Some interesting info but dull,
By A Customer
This review is from: Homestead: The Households of a Mill Town (Paperback)
The good point of this book (and the only one) was that it showed how difficult life was in the olden days (1910 to be exact), defting conservative notions of a golden age better than Stephanie Coontz has done. The bad points are that the language is dated ("Slav" is considered a race, as is "Colored") and the book is rather boring. Not much duller than most sociohistorical works but not as informative either. Slightly recommended.
