Description
Published in 1848 in Boston, The American Family Keepsake contains an enormous variety of informationeverything from medicinal cures to common childhood illnesses to recipes to farming to ';Indian Recipes' to sewing, and dressing. With instructions on how to cure ';hiccoughs' by ';a few swallows of vinegar,' to properly setting a table (always set soup, broth, or fish at the head of the table), to making a variety of colors for fabric (for lilac, add a pinch of Archil to boiling water with a small lump of pearlash), and to suitably dressing for one's figure (';tight sleeves without trimming are becoming to full forms'), The American Family Keepsakeis one of the earliest version of a modern-day's reference book or Wikipedia site, making this tome uniquely instructive and helpful.
