A blow-by-blow chronicle of this country through the lens of craft . . . Adamson manages to discover ‘making’ in every aspect of our history, framing it as integral to America’s idea of itself as a nation of self-sufficient individualists. There may be no one better suited to this task. * The New York Times Book Review * A rich chronicle of craft in America from Jamestown to the present day . . . Thoroughly researched and written with passion—and a bit of bite. * Kirkus Reviews, starred review * Chock-full of fascinating stories and interesting facts. Adamson collects nuggets from history, fiction, and even poetry to bring the world of the American craftsperson vividly to life. * Tyler Anbinder, author of CITY OF DREAMS *
