Imagining Ichabod: My Journey Into 18th-Century America - Coffee Table Book

Journey into America's past with this warm, personal account of living in a historic New England Georgian home and the family who owned it for over 200 years Rich local and national history of 18th-century America and depictions of daily life Includes 25 adapted historic recipes, county records, inventories, a military diary, and details on 18th-century cooking ingredients, fabric, paint, and antiques discovered from a present-day archaeological excavation Prompted by a serendipitous visit to a bookstore, an epiphany leads Paula Bennett and her husband, Harvey, to southern Maine where they spontaneously buy the General Ichabod Goodwin House with its original nine-over-six windows, wide-plank painted wood floors, early Georgian moldings, and an 8-ft wide hearth perfect for cooking. **This hardcover book would make an exceptionally sunning coffee table book with gorgeous imagery and the detailed cover.
