Basing his work on physical artifacts, wills, estate inventories, and a variety of legal and official enactments, Demos portrays the family as a structure of roles and relationships, emphasizing those of husband and wife, parent and child, and master and servant. The book's most startling insights come from a reconsideration of commonly-held views of American Puritans and of the ways in which they dealt with one another. The result is an in-depth study of the ordinary life of a colonial community, located in the broader environment of Seventeenth-century America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trailhead Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44329711763636,"sku":"9780195013559","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/2746\/1812\/files\/91nY_FjmHVL._AC_UF1000_1000_QL80.jpg?v=1785615135","url":"https:\/\/trailheadbooks.com\/products\/a-little-commonwealth-family-life-in-plymouth-colony-by-john-demos","provider":"Trailhead Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
