1871 1st Ed Bundling Origin, Progress, & Decline In America By Henry Reed Stiles

Bundling: Its Origin, Progress, & Decline in America is a fascinating exploration of the traditional practice of bundling, a courting custom where couples were wrapped together in bed, often with a board separating them. This practice, believed to have originated in the Netherlands or the British Isles, became prevalent in colonial America, particularly in Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Written by Henry Reed Stiles, MD, an American physician known for his historical and genealogical works, this book provides an in-depth look at the cultural and social aspects of bundling.
