The colonial blacksmith, cabinetmaker, silversmith, glassmaker and weaver were all craftsmen that learned their trade in order to support themselves in the new world. It was a world that was, at first, dominated by the struggle for survival. As the population grew and the colonies multiplied, so did the need for more craftsmen, and artistry and quality of workmanship flourished. This book researches what these craftsmen needed to perform their trade, and profiles many real craftsmen.
