Reseña del libro "A Meet and Suitable Person: Tavernkeeping in old Hampton, new Hampshire 1638-1783 (en Inglés)"

With a blend of historical facts and well-crafted story-telling, A Meet and Suitable Person invites readers to an insider's view of the taverns of Puritan Hampton, depicting the lives of the seventeen men and six women who kept the town's public houses of entertainment during the colonial era. Here you'll read the humorous tale of a pair of scandalous doctors who attempted to "procure" townswomen at the Tuck ordinary and about the witchcraft-plagued tavernkeeper and corrupt judge who sold his countrymen out for a hundred acres of land. And you'll discover other intriguing inhabitants, like the much-maligned "witch" Eunice Cole, the turbulent, alcoholic lawyer Edward Colcord who once threatened to rip Eunice with a knife as she faced yet another trial for witchcraft, and the upright but feisty town clerk Henry Dow, who kept a diary of every drink he bought at the ordinary during a time when serving the locals was illegal. And you'll learn that long before the Revolution, Hampton was a hotbed of liberty-loving patriots who weren't afraid to throw a punch at a royalist or kidnap an insufferable Crown official to send him packing out of the Province. In an informative and entertaining style, the author shares her solid historical research to tell the story of the taverns and their keepers, and some of the fascinating townspeople and events of Old Hampton.
