Bundling: Its Origin, Progress and Decline is a historical non-fiction book written by Henry Reed Stiles. The book explores the practice of bundling, a custom that was popular in early America, where unmarried couples would sleep together in the same bed, fully clothed, as a way to save money and conserve heat. Stiles delves into the origins of bundling, tracing its roots back to Europe and examining how it was brought over to America by early settlers. He also explores the social and cultural factors that contributed to the practice's rise in popularity, as well as the controversies and criticisms that it faced.Throughout the book, Stiles provides a detailed account of the different variations of bundling that existed in different regions of America, as well as the different attitudes towards the practice among different social classes. He also examines the decline of bundling, which he attributes to changing social norms and the rise of more individualistic values.Overall, Bundling: Its Origin, Progress and Decline is a fascinating exploration of a little-known aspect of American history, offering insights into the social and cultural dynamics of early American society.How pure were the Puritans? This remarkable book exposes the startling custom of the Puritans which, said Washington Irving, was the cause for an amazing number of sturdy brats born into the state without the license of the law or the benefit of clergy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
