How absolutely differ ent from the busy hurry and scurry of the modern industrial world. They could not depend upon importation. Everything had to be done with their own hands. The work of the men was - Clearing the forests, mak ing the homes, building church and fort, planting and caring for the gardens, pro curing and preparing the food, protecting their homes and their loved ones from the attacks of the savages - all these and a thou-sand other tasks kept busy the stalwart and plucky settlers of the early years.The women, also, had their share of work to accomplish. What would_be the thoughts of a Pilgrim lady, could she be given one peep into the kitchen of today? - set tubs, running water, gas stoves, besides wash ing machines, electric irons, toasters, sweepers, etc.! Had the little Pilgrim lady had such luxuries, perhaps she would have had too much time to spare and would not have been so content, but as it was, she did all of her work by hand, even to doing the laundry out-of-doors in the streams. The lady of today goes to the store and buys her cloth and her thread, uses her manufactured patterns and her thawing machine hand then her work is practically accomplished. The little Puri tan lady had to make her own homespun first, planting the flax, plucking it, drying, seeding, baking, thrashing, combing it, and then spinning the cloth and finally making the garment, entirely by hand.We know that the Pilgrims were very cultured and refined. Many had been well educated in their home-country and now were anxious that their children should have a similar education. However, schools were not established for ten years, but the little folks received what education they needed in their own homes from the moth ers and fathers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
