How did our ancestors live between 1880 and 1940? What did they look like? Transportation switched from horse-drawn vehicles to airplanes, lighting from oil lamps to electricity, occupations from agriculture to industry. This extensively illustrated book looks at the homes, occupations, pastimes, and transportation of that time. See furniture, clothing, hairstyles, architecture, and working conditions in over 250 never-before-published photos. (160pp. illus. Schiffer Pub., 2003.)
