Early American Taverns: For the Entertainment of Friends and Strangers' is a genuine work of scholarship, one that can also be read for sheer pleasure. By way of introduction, the author offers an entertaining overview of the tavern's beginnings in this country in the 17th century, then treats of the special nature of the urban tavern, the problems of tavern keeping and local administration, and licensing and control. You will meet typical tavern keepers (some were women) and their guests, learn about the forms of entertainment offered at taverns, and partake in their amusements. This delightful book closes with an intimate picture of Samuel Fraunces, the astute innkeeper who gave his name to Fraunces Tavern in New York City. Profusely illustrated with contemporary prints and photographs of artifacts, here is a history come alive, a fascinating exploration of a tradition and an experience that remains with us to this day.
