Synopsis

This series is an introduction to history through the visual examination of a tangible object that represents a specific period of history. Each book starts with an overall view of the object followed by details of its manufacture. How the object and humans interacted over time gives an insight into a specific period detailing how the object has played a part in the making of history. The story of jeans is closely tied to the history of the United States. This book looks at America, from the Gold Rush of 1848 to the present day, and charts also the invention and development of a garment which is now worn by people all over the world.
