DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Purple and Homespun: A Novel Washington looked larger to him this morning as he paused for a moment beside the great stone pillars of the hotel, his gaze wandering up and down the broad surface of Pennsylvania Avenue. Not larger in a material sense, although it was a city of constant growth, but larger in an aspect of a new responsibility that had come to himself. It seemed, since he had seen it last, to have strangely acquired a dignity to comport with a new dignity that was his own - a sense of something enlarged and broadened, to fit his own enlarged and broadened mind. He was no stranger to it. He had seen the city often in the course of his career, and, in one sense, for years it had been his home. For five terms he had been a congressman, representing here a district of the State for which he was now a Senator. It was the fact that he was a Senator, a fact to which he had not yet accustomed himself, that now impressed him, that came to him with a more overpowering knowledge, since he had had the leisure to think of it. It widened for him the horizon of all the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThey began their existence as everyday objects, but in the hands of award-winning historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, fourteen domestic items from preindustrial America–ranging from a linen tablecloth to an unfinished sock–relinquish their stories and offer profound insights into our history. In an age when even meals are rarely made from scratch, homespun easily acquires the glow of nostalgia. The objects Ulrich investigates unravel those simplified illusions, revealing important clues to the culture and people who made them. Ulrich uses an Indian basket to explore the uneasy coexistence of native and colonial Americans. A piece of silk embroidery reveals racial and class distinctions, and two old spinning wheels illuminate the connections between colonial cloth-making and war. Pulling these divergent threads together, Ulrich demonstrates how early Americans made, used, sold, and saved textiles in order to assert their identities, shape relationships, and create history.
