(3) 4-6 This interesting history book reveals the unsavory side of living in eighteenth-century America, transporting the reader via time machine to experience daily life. Descriptions of fetid smells, putrid filth, blood-sucking insects, deadly diseases, and uncomfortable clothing are graphically depicted. Inserts, photographs, and illustrations enhance the readable text, which may repulse some readers but fascinate others. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
