Author Bio: Alice Morse Earle

Alice Morse Earle (1851–1911). Her writings, beginning in 1890, focused on small sociological details rather than grand details, and thus are invaluable for modern social historians. Other works include Home Life in Colonial Days, Costume of Colonial Times, Colonial Dames and Good Wives, Curious Punishments of Bygone Days, and Child Life in Colonial Days.
