About the book

Offering a new view into the lives and experiences of plebeian men and women, and a provocative exploration of the history of the body itself, this text approaches the bodies of the poor in early national Philadelphia as texts to be read and interpreted.

First sentence: During the 1780s and 1790s Joseph Marsh, Jr., compiled a series of hefty ledgers.
