[Download] Bottles from the Deep: Patent Medicines, Bitters, & Other Bottles from the Wreck of the Steamship Republic by Ellen C. Gerth ~ eBook PDF Kindle ePub Free
Bottles from the Deep offers a fascinating tour through the bottles of the Civil War era. This illustrated softcover book presents the colorful examples from an amazing find of 19th-century bottles in a shipwreck in the deep Atlantic, 100 miles off the coast of Georgia. The bottles were en route to New Orleans in October 1865, just months after the end of the Civil War. They reveal a time capsule of bottled goods of the times β from popular herbal bitters (with their high alcoholic content) to quack medicines (Mrs. Winslowβs Soothing Syrup for Children) to condiments, fruit preserves, hair tonics, writing inks, perfumes, beer and wine, and much more.
