Cobblestone September 2019
Living in Colonial America was clearly different than living in modern America. People dressed differently, they ate differently, they played differently. And, with no electricity or computers or phones, they certainly worked differently.
Learn how Colonial Americans worked as you study the jobs people did, how they did them, and what the people who did these jobs were called—many of which are probably not names you’re familiar with! Meet Coopers, Chandlers, Cutlers, and Cobblers. And don’t forget Farriers and Tanners—what in the world do you think they do? Tour a Colonial Hotel and get to know the Blacksmith. Plus, see what roles were available for Colonial women and look at some of the worst jobs in history.
