Epigraph

"The history of a given period is not exclusively, or even mainly, the history of its famous men and women. The real history of the past lies in the answer to the question, 'How did the ordinary, undistinguished man live?' ... It is with a view to providing posterity with an addition to such all too scanty material, that the papers which follow have been embodied in a permanent form."
From the foreword to Memoirs of the Lewis Family 1850-1930, edited by Warren Hamilton Lewis
