This volume chronicles the formative years of the United States through the activities and occupations of its most valued community members. It explores the everyday life, responsibilities, social life as a colonial merchant and the affect of the profession on colonial America. Hands-on activities and recipes, sidebars detailing the history and evolution of the profession and key social studies words defend in the glossary.
