Media Reviews
Well written and easy to read, this book shows how early trades and small American industries were capitalized, a topic unexplored by historical archaeologists. Thomas Cuddy has written an interesting and intellectually viable supplementary text for undergraduates. -- Mark P. Leone, University of Maryland, College Park
