From Almanack, Bathtub, and Conestoga Wagon to XBrace, Yankee, and ZigZag Fence, this sketchbook of antiquities revisits delightful words and inventions of oldtime America. Artist and historian Eric Sloane presents a wondrous collection of American innovations, including hex signs, ear trumpets, popcorn, and rocking chairs.Readers of all ages will delight in these illustrated and handlettered pages, which feature brief captions explaining the items' origins and uses. Gadgets, gizmos, and contraptions include foot stoves, used in churches and under the blankets of sleighs and stagecoaches, oil lamps fed by whale oil and kerosene, waterwheels, weathervanes, and windmills (first built in Virginia in 1621 a century later, there were nearly 1,000). The craftsmanship of the nation's early builders and inventors is reflected in this finely wrought compilation of historical curiosities.
