Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Life in Colonial Western Pennsylvania In such a situation children were much to be desired, if for no other reason than to provide a labor supply. For, isolated as they were, where land could be had for the taking, few if any men could be hired as laborers even if the father could have found the wherewithal to pay them. Under such conditions the sons became the helpers of their fathers, both in hunting and farming; while the girls aided their mothers in gardening, spinning and other household duties. But the most important part played by children in the frontier days was not in the role of laborers. They were rather the incentives which spurred their parents on to de sire better conditions. In the first place, more land had to be claimed and cleared to provide nearby farms where sons and daughters might live when grown. In the second place, the old cabin had to give way to a bigger, better and more comfortable log-house to shelter adequately their yet small brood. In the third place, a desire was created for safer surroundings for these children: the Indians had to be driv en back to parts where they would cease to be a menace to these new communities; and the Law had to be called in to deal with the roysterers of the border. In the fourth place, better communications had to be established with the out side world in order that the children might learn to know more of the country to which they belonged, and that cer tain comforts might be brought in to vary the monotony of their lives. And lastly, parents became impressed with the need for the establishment of some means of education, so that sooner or later there appeared that characteristic feature of American life, the school. Thus, in the course of a few years, the aspect of the community was changed. Around the group of old log cabins and the stockade fort where traders and hunters had stopped to rest, swap tales and drink healths, there grew up a peaceful and substantial farming community, with less of the passing nature about it. With the coming of the children, therefore, the frontier, as such, gradually moved farther westward while in its place a quiet and law abiding countryside appeared.

Download or read book Daily Life in the Colonial City written by Keith T. Krawczynski and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-02-20 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of day-to-day urban life in colonial America. The American city was an integral part of the colonial experience. Although the five largest cities in colonial America--Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Charles Town, and Newport--held less than ten percent of the American popularion on the eve of the American Revolution, they were particularly significant for a people who resided mostly in rural areas, and wilderness. These cities and other urban hubs contained and preserved the European traditions, habits, customs, and institutions from which their residents had emerged. They were also centers of commerce, transportation, and communication; held seats of colonial government; and were conduits for the transfer of Old World cultures. With a focus on the five largest cities but also including life in smaller urban centers, Krawczynski's nuanced treatment will fill a significant gap on the reference shelves and serve as an essential source for students of American history, sociology, and culture. In-depth, thematic chapters explore many aspects of urban life in colonial America, including working conditions for men, women, children, free blacks, and slaves as well as strikes and labor issues; the class hierarchy and its purpose in urban society; childbirth, courtship, family, and death; housing styles and urban diet; and the threat of disease and the growth of poverty.

Download or read book Early Western Pennsylvania Politics written by Russell J. Ferguson and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conflict between the Jeffersonian and Hamiltonian concepts of democracy was nowhere more vigorous or bitter than in Western Pennsylvania during the period when the region evolved from an agrarian to an industrial economy. This book traces the political aspects of this transformation step by step. The region's long allegiance to Jeffersonianism, was in part due to a group of plodding but shrewd politicians who remained in power until well after the War of 1812, before they were succeded by Hamiltonians. Ferguson profiles the major politicians and political events in the region from Revolutionary War times until the 1820s.
Download or read book Pennsylvania in Public Memory written by Carolyn Kitch and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What stories do we tell about America’s once-great industries at a time when they are fading from the landscape? Pennsylvania in Public Memory attempts to answer that question, exploring the emergence of a heritage culture of industry and its loss through the lens of its most representative industrial state. Based on news coverage, interviews, and more than two hundred heritage sites, this book traces the narrative themes that shape modern public memory of coal, steel, railroading, lumber, oil, and agriculture, and that collectively tell a story about national as well as local identity in a changing social and economic world.
