55th Annual Delaware Show

In the eighteenth century, Newport, Rhode Island, was home to some of the most skilled craftsmen in colonial North America. Among them were clockmakers William Claggett, James Wady, and Thomas Claggett. Through a broad search for new archival material as well as the discovery of additional existing works, the authors now offer a more accurate picture of these men, their trade, and life in Newport at the time. It is an important contribution to the history of masterful craftsmanship in Rhode Island. Hardback, 268 pages; 321 color illustrations.
