Title: Fascinating Glimpse into the Life of a Housewife in the 1830s
Review: I'm researching how a housewife would have lived during the Civil War era. Although The American Frugal Housewife edition that I read for free on my Kindle was from the 1830s, much of it probably remains unchanged 15 to 20 years later. People in villages or living in the country at that time would still have stored their foods for winter in the same way as this book advises. The treatments for croup, a burn or other illness give insight into the hardships encountered when there were few doctors and the family had to self-treat as much as possible.Fascinating details of a bygone era that is particularly useful to me as I work on my book about my Civil War ancestor.
