    About this ebook

    Life in the early 1800s was very different than it is today. If you had been born in America 200 years ago, you would have had much more work to do, much less free time, fewer toys and clothes, and no internet or even computers! Life was much simpler then, but it was also a lot harder. How much do you know about what life was like back then?
    Do you know:
    Why did beds have curtains?
    What was important about a child living to be 10 years old?
    How did most people take baths?
    When were the first photographs taken?

    Find out the answers to these questions and more and amaze your family and friends with these fun facts.
    Ages 8 and up.
    All measurements in American and metric.
    Reading Level: 6.3
