On the rugged edge of the American frontier, childhood meant chores, courage and constant change. These children grew up fast. In Child Life in Colonial Western Pennsylvania, Percy Burdelle Caley opens a rare window onto the daily life of children in the 18th century Pennsylvania frontier, tracing how frontier family life, work, play, religion and community shaped young lives. Blending colonial American history with vivid Pennsylvania local history, he explores how boys and girls learned to read, worship and labour, how colonial education and upbringing reflected both Old World traditions and New World hardships, and how a scattered settler society tried to protect and discipline its youngest members across the western Pennsylvania colonial era. Long valued by scholars of the social history of childhood and the wider history of childhood America, this pioneer children life book also speaks to general readers seeking a human-scale portrait of early lives behind the milestones of colonial American history. Its rich, specific detail makes it an ideal teaching resource on colonial America and a compelling companion for homeschool early America history courses. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, this careful modern edition preserves a classic study of western Pennsylvania's past for readers, teachers and collectors alike.
