Book excerpt: Abundantly illustrated with drawings and photos, this book nostalgically documents crafts and utensils connected with the kitchen, dairy, laundry, workings of the house, decorating of the house, and clothing. No bibliography. America's first political party devoted to emancipation and equal justice struggled against the determined hostility of the major parties, only to be buried by the resistance and apathy of the overwhelming majority of Northern voters. Volpe (history, Kearney State College) uses local voting records and systematic analysis to examine the ethno-religious roots of the third-party movement as well as its impact on antebellum social and political developments.
