Description: About this productProduct InformationMost studies of eighteenth-century community life in America have focused on New England, and in many respects the New England town has become a model for our understanding of communities throughout the United States during this period. In this study of a mid-Atlantic town, the author describes a very different way of organizing society, indicating that the New England model may prove atypical. In addition, her analysis suggests the origins of twentieth-century social patterns in eighteenth-century life.Product IdentifiersPublisherPrinceton University PressISBN-100691005907ISBN-139780691005904eBay Product ID (ePID)524823Product Key FeaturesAuthorStephanie Grauman WolfPublication NameUrban Village : Population, Community, and Family Structure in Germantown, Pennsylvania, 1683-1800FormatTrade PaperbackLanguageEnglishPublication Year1980TypeTextbookNumber of Pages374 PagesDimensionsItem Length8.5inItem Height0.9inItem Width5.6inItem Weight16 OzAdditional Product FeaturesLc Classification NumberHn80.G46 W6Reviews"A pioneering American community study. . . .
