A well-illustrated mid-century survey of colonial American drinking culture, covering ale and beer, cider and perry, cordials and liqueurs, and temperance beverages. Brown draws extensively on early American sources - cookbooks, tavern records, and domestic manuals - to reconstruct both everyday consumption and more curious historical recipes. Chapters are organized by beverage type and region, with additional sections on drinking habits, tavern life, and medicinal uses of alcohol, supported by period illustrations and archival material. This 1966 Bonanza reprint (originally issued by Charles E. Tuttle) reflects the era's growing popular interest in early American domestic life and material culture. The volume includes a substantial illustration program depicting taverns, utensils, and printed ephemera, as well as an index of persons and sources. A solid reference for collectors of Americana, culinary history, and foodways, the book bridges scholarly research and accessible narrative, making it appealing to both historians and general readers interested in early American life. John Hull Brown was an American historian and writer specializing in early American social history, with a particular focus on domestic customs, foodways, and tavern culture. His works draw heavily on primary sources and aim to make historical practices accessible to modern readers.
