2023-FIM-0052Description
"Taste In America shows how the American home was carved from the wilderness. It traces the impact of the Dutch and French period of settlement on architecture, of Spanish mission and Indian pueblo, of the Greek and Gothic revivals, which shaped the skylines of so many small American towns as they emerged from the simplicity of log houses. It shows how the automobile helped to empty porches and churches, repatterned America's pleasures, and even revamped its parties. It pays detailed attention to American games and sports, from the hunting, gambling and cockfighting of pioneer days and the social croquet games of yesteryear to today's avid concentration on golf, tennis, skiing, boating, and skydiving. It is an illustrated history of the evolution of architecture, furnishings, fashions, and customs of the American people."
