'The authors bought an 18th-century house in Hampton, Connecticut in 1967 and, after living there 20 years, were given the papers of the family that had lived there since the 1790s. A remarkably intact story emerges, pieced together from letters, wills, household records, newspapers and other periodicals, invitations, visiting cards, and playbills.'--Book News.
