Using this family's story as a case study, the authors of <i>Robert Cole's World</i> provide an intimate portrait of the social and economic life of a middling planter in the seveneenth-century Chesapeake, including work routines and agricultural techniques, the upbringing of children, neighborhood relationships and community formation, and the role of religion.<p>The Cole Plantation account, a record that details what the plantation produced, consumed, purchased, and sold over a twelve-year period, is the only known surviving document of its kind for seventeenth-century British America. Along with Cole's will, it serves as the framework around which the authors build their analysis. Drawing on these and other records, they present Cole as an exemplar of the ordinary planter whose success created the capital base for the slave-based plantation society of the eighteenth century. 16440 21 10 1991 Robert Cole's World: Agriculture and Society in Early Maryland total:3|5:1|4:0|3:2|2:0|1:0| 3 11 4 0 14402 0807843415 9780807843413 3 0 3.67 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166605824m/14402.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14402.Robert_Cole_s_World_Agriculture_and_Society_in_Early_Maryland 0 0 false Fri Dec 04 13:24:02 -0800 2009 Fri Dec 04 13:24:02 -0800 2009 14402 0807843415 9780807843413 3 0 3.67 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166605824m/14402.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14402.Robert_Cole_s_World_Agriculture_and_Society_in_Early_Maryland 3 0 false Thu Nov 19 06:38:42 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 06:40:30 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 06:40:36 -0800 2009 14402 0807843415 9780807843413 3 0 3.67 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166605824m/14402.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14402.Robert_Cole_s_World_Agriculture_and_Society_in_Early_Maryland 3 0 false Mon Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Tue Feb 24 11:50:30 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 24 11:51:02 -0800 2009 14402 0807843415 9780807843413 3 0 3.67 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166605824m/14402.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14402.Robert_Cole_s_World_Agriculture_and_Society_in_Early_Maryland 5 0 false Sat Jul 28 23:44:14 -0700 2007 Sat Jul 28 23:44:14 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=14402
