American Family in the Colonial Period

Contributing significantly to an understanding of the forces at work in the evolution of family institutions in the United States, this complete, fundamental, and authoritative classic was the results of years of research, analysis and thought. Describing the American family as a product primarily of European folkways, economic transition to modern capitalism, and its distinctive environment-a virgin continent, it will be invaluable to students of early American history and of interest to all who enjoy reading about America's early past.Calhoun, Arthur W. is the author of 'American Family in the Colonial Period', published 2004 under ISBN 9780486433660 and ISBN 0486433668.
