Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a window into the life of Francis Filkin, a farmer and shopkeeper who lived in the Dutch community of Poughkeepsie, New York, in the 18th century. Through an accounting book, the author traces Filkin's life and the lives of the diverse surrounding community. From the details of everyday life, such as tailoring costs and the prices of food, to the grander events including elections and religious ceremonies, this book gives readers an insight into a world that is both familiar and foreign. In addition to shedding light on the daily lives of its inhabitants, this book also offers a glimpse into the legal and cultural structure of Dutchess County during this period. Through Filkin's meticulous record-keeping, we can assess the intricate legal and social networks that shaped the lives of the people in early America. By providing such a rich and multifaceted portrait of an 18th-century Dutch community, this book is a valuable resource for historians and anyone interested in early American life.
