Excellent explanation of a colonial trade.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Leonard Everett Fischer wrote and illustrated this volume bringing to life history of the hat-making trade in colonial times. In 1731, England passed a law banning the exporting of any hats to Great Britain, because they were just too popular with British customers. There was a great demand for hats, and some men had large collections of headwear. Headgear was popular with the ladies as well This popularity, of course, infuriated British hatters. Would you be surprised to know that the colonial hatters ignored the law? The Hatters presents a complete understanding of the trade, with a glossary for review. It is a wonderful addition to the young reader's sense of life in the colonies.
