In Public Houses: Drink and the Revolution of Authority in Colonial Massachusetts - Published by the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture and the University of North Carolina Press New edition
David W. Conroy
In this study of the role of taverns in the development of Massachusetts society, David Conroy brings into focus a vital and controversial but little-understood facet of public life during the colonial era. Concentrating on the Boston area, he reveals a popular culture at odds with Puritan social ideals, one that contributed to the transformation of Massachusetts into a republican society.
