The Volo's examine the role of the family in society and typical family life in 17th- and 18th-century America. Through narrative chapters, aspects of family life are discussed in depth such as maintaining the household, work, entertainment, death and dying, ceremonies and holidays, customs and rites of passage, parenting, education, and widowhood. Readers will gain an in-depth understanding of the world in which these families lived and how that world affected their lives. Also included are sources for further information and a timeline of historic events. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVolumes in the \u003ci\u003eFamily Life through History\u003c\/i\u003e series focus on the day-to-day lives and roles of families throughout history.
