Abstract:
Celebration of America’s two hundredth anniversary included reliving a special part of US history. To help celebrants virtually step back in time were re-enactments of Colonial lifeways. It ranged from domestic chores such as cooking to clothes-making, from meal staples such as apple cider and corn, from entertainment such as Cock Fight and marbles. The history lesson learned: there were more commonalities than differences between the distant past and the present.

Abstract:
Her story was an illustration of the important role women play in history, pre-American Colonial and Colonial in particular. While the men helped to hold the fledging nation together on the battlefield, women helped to hold the fledgling nation together on the homefront. Where Flora’s story becomes especially memorable is her influence felt before immigrating from Scotland to North Carolina. That venture commemorated in this edition involved her helping the pretender to the British throne, Bonnie Prince Charlie, escape to France in 1746.

Abstract:
If history has two faces, as the author proclaimed, history textbooks have often held a mirror in front of one of those visages. Bunger’s purpose, then, was to make the other countenance, in this case the European slave trade, just as visible.
