Keepers of the RevolutionThey recreate the rhythms of daily life, clarify the impact of political and social changes on working people, and help us appreciate how these women and men not just the country's founding fatherswere truly "keepers of the revolution." Paul A. Gilje and Howard B. Rock provide a general introduction to New York after independence and then devote sections of the book to apprentices, journeymen, master craftsmen, waterfront workers, blacks, and women.
