The United States Civil War touched the lives of every American North and South at that time. This informative book makes extensive use of journals, newspapers, and diaries to bring together the experience of the soldier, civilian, and slave in one volume. The experiences of Billy Yank and Johnny Reb are contrasted with activities on the homefront to bring this turbulent era alive for students, teachers and Civil War buffs.
This engaging history also provides interesting details such as: what the slaves' and the freed black men and women's lives were like; how the soldiers obtained their food; how recipes were changed to accommodate food shortages; the popular books and magazines of the time; and how clothing and fashion were affected by the war. The ideas and ideals which brought about the crisis are discussed and period writings are included to provide great insight into the mindset of the time. This volume is enhanced by period photographs, lithographs and original art work, much of which has never before appeared in print.

The frontier region was the interface between the American wilderness and European-style civilization. To the Europeans, the frontier teemed with undomesticated and unfamiliar beasts. Even its indigenous peoples seemed perplexing, uninhibited, and violent. The frontier wasn't just a place, but a process, too. It was a hazy line between colliding cultures, and a volatile region in which those cultures interacted.
This volume explores the frontier, explorers, traders, missionaries, colonists, and native peoples that came into contact. Everyday life is presented with all of its difficulties-the trading, trapping, and farming, not to mention the chronic threat of violence. Examining the period from the perspective of both Europeans and Native Americans, this book features over 40 illustrations, photographs, and maps, making it the perfect source for anyone interested in how people lived on the old colonial frontier.

From the Thirteenth century through the Nineteenth, the waterways of the world provided the major means of transportation for exploration, trade, the military, and even criminals. Find out what life was like for those who chose to sail the high seas, as well as for those who didn't choose to be on board,like wives brought to sea by husbands and slaves en route to the auction block. What were their quarters like? What did they eat? How did they pass their long days at sea? These and other questions are answered in animated prose that brings the lives of ordinary people who oftentimes engaged in extraordinary activities, into sharp focus.

Nancy Drew has entertained readers young and old for generations. Interestingly, many of her discoveries and discussions occur when she and her associates are eating. This book contains menus and recipes for foods that are mentioned in the first 16 volumes of the Nancy Drew series. All the recipes have been gathered from period cookbooks in order to capture the essence of the era. As with all the books in the Recipes in Context series, the first portion of this book sets the cookbook in the time in which it was published in order to give the reader a deeper appreciation of what life was like when the original books were published.

Independently published

The title of this work is inspired from a United States Food Administration poster that used “In her wheatless kitchen” as the caption. The recipes here have been reproduced exactly as they appeared in the 1918 book. Illustrations from cookbooks and advertisements from the early years of the twentieth century have been added for visual appeal. The original book featured artwork only on the front and back covers. In order to maintain their historical integrity, no attempt has been made to update the instructions or ingredients for the modern cook. As noted in the book itself, the recipes were drawn from Farmers’ Bulletin 565, U. S. Department of Agriculture, and from leaflets issues by the National Civic Federation. Whether you are looking for new recipes or simply enjoy thumbing through old cookbooks, In Her Meatless Kitchen, War Recipes from World War I is an interesting and enlightening read.
