The Sabbath in Puritan New England.By
Alice Morse Earle (April 27, 1851 - February 16, 1911) was an American historian and author from Worcester, Massachusetts. She was christened Mary Alice by her parents Edwin Morse and Abby Mason Clary. On 15 April 1874, she married Henry Earle of New York, changing her name from Mary Alice Morse to Alice Morse Earle. Her writings, beginning in 1890, focussed on small sociological details rather than grand details, and thus are invaluable for modern social historians. She wrote a number of books on colonial America (and especially the New England region) such as Curious Punishments of Bygone Days. She was a passenger aboard the RMS Republic when, while in a dense fog, that ship collided with the SS Florida. During the transfer of passengers, Alice fell into the water. Her near drowning in 1909 off the coast of Nantucket during this abortive trip to Egypt weakened her health sufficiently that she died two years later, in Hempstead, Long Island.
Colonial days in old New York
Colonial Days in Old New York by Alice Morse Earle is a historical account published in 1896 that explores life in New York during the colonial period. Earle's book offers a detailed look at the customs, daily life, and societal norms of New York City in the 17th and 18th centuries. Drawing on historical documents, letters, and other primary sources, Earle provides a vivid portrayal of colonial New York, including its architecture, social practices, and cultural traditions. The book is both informative and engaging, offering readers a window into the past through descriptive and anecdotal narratives. Colonial Days in Old New York is a valuable resource for those interested in American history, particularly the colonial era and the development of one of the United States' most historically significant cities.
