"Through Colonial Doorways" by Anne Hollingsworth Wharton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work seeks to illuminate the social and domestic lives of people during the Colonial and Revolutionary times, focusing on the personal and intimate aspects of their lives rather than just historical events. This book finds relevance as readers gain insights into the lives of lesser-known figures and everyday experiences that shaped their time away from the battles and politics of the era. At the start of the work, the author reflects on the growing interest in understanding the social dimensions of Colonial America. The opening discusses the value of personal anecdotes, letters, and journals as a way to connect modern readers with their ancestors, revealing the more relatable aspects of these historical figures. Wharton emphasizes the importance of humor, affection, and human connection, weaving in examples from letters and diaries that showcase the lighter side of life during a tumultuous time. The work introduces intriguing characters like Miss Sally Wister and Major Stoddert, whose carefree adventures highlight the charm and social intricacies of the era, while setting the stage for further exploration of the lives woven into the fabric of America's past.
