Sparks And Sounds From A Colonial Anvil is a historical non-fiction book written by John Whiteman and originally published in 1873. The book explores the colonial era of America, specifically the blacksmith trade and the role it played in shaping the country. Whiteman takes readers on a journey through the lives of colonial blacksmiths, their tools, techniques, and the impact they had on society. He discusses the importance of the blacksmith in colonial America, from their role in creating weapons for the Revolutionary War to their contributions to the transportation industry through the creation of horseshoes and wagon parts. The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of the blacksmith trade, including the tools and materials used, the different types of blacksmiths, and the various goods they produced. Whiteman also delves into the social and economic factors that influenced the trade, such as the rise of industrialization and the decline of the craft in the 19th century. Overall, Sparks And Sounds From A Colonial Anvil is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of colonial America and the blacksmith trade.
