Between a father and a daughter, a city and a new nation come quietly to life. This historical letter collection gathers the letters of John Pintard, eminent New York merchant, civic leader, and founder of the New York Historical Society, written to his daughter, Eliza Noel Pintard Davidson, between 1816 and 1833. In these pages of early American correspondence, the rhythms of family affection, faith and public duty illuminate early 19th century America and, especially, New York City 1800s life at a moment of rapid change. Every line feels startlingly present. Beyond their intimate tone, the letters serve as a rich primary source collection for historians and researchers interested in early American social history and New York City history, as well as for readers drawn to family letters and genealogy. They offer a vivid primary source for students encountering the period for the first time and for seasoned scholars and collectors building a deeper picture of the young republic. 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. Carefully prepared from the original publication, Volume I of the letters of John Pintard stands as both a readable narrative of everyday experience and a foundational document of early 19th-century civic and cultural life, appealing equally to curious general readers and serious lovers of documentary history.
