A superb reference for writers, researchers, students and teachers, this dictionary-style book illuminates everyday life in the 1800s, decade by decade. Readers will find hundreds of otherwise obscure facts about: * Popular slang--from the range to the underworld* How to furnish a farmhouse or outfit a barn* How much it cost for a shot of whiskey or to mail a letter* Styles of the fashionable--and not so fashionable* Courtship and marriage rituals* Popular food and drink--including brand names* And much, much more!
