Step into a father's living conversation with his grown daughter as New York enters a new age of bustle and ambition. A family voice, vividly preserved. In this third volume of the John Pintard letters collection, covering 1828-1831, one of early 19th century America's most observant citizens and a founder of New York's cultural institutions records daily life, public events and private anxieties in a stream of nineteenth century correspondence that is both intimate and illuminating. These family letters and diaries capture the texture of 1820s 1830s New York - streets and shops, churches and societies, politics, philanthropy and home - offering an unparalleled historical letters collection for anyone drawn to early American social history and New York City history. As a set of American primary source letters, Letters From John Pintard To His Daughter, Eliza Noel Pintard Davidson is indispensable for American history students, for genealogists and researchers seeking authentic voices, and for general readers who enjoy early American epistolary collections as literary works in their own right. 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. Thoughtfully presented, this careful edition invites slow reading and close study alike, making a classic of early 19th century America available once more to readers, libraries and collectors around the world.
