From the Back Cover

In colonial times there were no factories. If some needed a barrel or a chair, that object had to be made by hand. Crafts people made furniture, utensils for the home, and tools for farmers. Each of these essential artisans was skilled in one particular craft. The wheelwright, for example, made wheels.
