About This Item
Hanover, NH: University Press of New England, 1983. Trade Paperback. Very Good. A clean, unmarked copy with a tight binding. 329 pages; many illustrations. ""An exhaustive treatment of all aspects of Shaker textile production and artifacts. The author writes clearly of the tasks themselves, from the inventively efficient methods of wool and flax milling to the unique, laborious production of 'popular cloth'. Gordon's judicious use of original source materials--diaries, ledgers, instruction manuals--enriches these discussions and adds to our understanding of this small corner of the history of American crafts production.""
