Quick note first: my research into the 1840-1860 era in the US goes right along with Fran's summary of the work involved in "getting settled" in the middle and working classes.
Actual post topic: I'll be in Sacramento mid-November, at Old Sacramento, with workshops and presentations related to living history and historic clothing for the 1850s. If anyone is interested, you'd all be welcome; registration is open for a bit longer (I'm extending it about a week on request from some of the Cali folks). The registration page is here: http://www.thesewingacademy.com/workshops/sacramento/ Thanks so much!
