Originally published in 1832, this extraordinary manual for the
homemaker of modest means is far more than a mere "cookbook." In an
age before electricity, refrigeration or any other modern
convenience, the fine art of storing, preparing and serving food
presented difficulties unimagined in our time, challenges our
forebears mastered with ingenuity, hard work, the inherited
knowledge of generations past, and the sheer American pluck
required to make the cheerful best of any social or economic
situation. Also included are instructions for making soap, beer and
wine, for repairing worn clothing and furniture, for enduring
poverty, and even for rightly educating one's daughters. A rich
treasure trove of practical frontier knowledge, Lydia M. Child's
The American Frugal Housewife is an essential volume for
contemporary homesteaders, antiquarian collectors, and anyone who
longs for a firsthand taste of real American history.
