It hasn't been that long that our family LIVED the frontier style.
We farmed with horses, had no electricity, no natural gas, no telephone
and heated our home with wood and used coal-oil lamps or new-fangled mantle
lamps. We kids walked to school which was made of red bricks and had
no central heating and no artificial lighting. We survived and so
did our neighbours.

Tres cool!

Yeah, that was the best part, the girls in the pool, post FH. They're
probably still bitching about something. I think they were inveterate
bitchers. Bitched about being in the experiment, then bitched when it
was over. I also loved their mom in her laundry room hugging her
washer/drier. I think she woulda divorced her husband and sold her
girls into child slavery before ever giving up her beloved Whirlpools,
again. LOL....

Thanks for the heads-up, Jill.

I know people lived that way and survived. My family certainly did,
coming to this country in 1680. The PBS series was about transplanting
people spoiled by modern conveniences in the wilderness and seeing how
they'd handle things.

A bullshit troll. Mantle lamps haven't been "new-fangled" for at
least a century.

I think that if you spent any time living on a farm as a youth or young
adult that you would have the skills to live like that. The Amish in PA
come close, but even they have modern conveniences that would make
anyone in the 1800's gasp in awe.

My biggest worry would be the lack of modern medical care. The life
expectancy in the late 1800's was around 45 years compared to close to
80 years now. I just went through a bad time getting a tooth pulled and
I wonder how that would have worked in 1880. Things that we deal with
routinely like pneumonia and injury care and infections were pretty much
deadly back then.

To my Dad...mantle lamps WERE "new fangled" as he was very old-fashioned
and set in his ways. My mother was way more progressive.

We kids welcomed new advances in technology and adopted modern
conveniences when ever possible.

I have used computers for over thirty years...there have been so
many changes in my lifetime and I'm so glad that we can live
better because of them.

Here's a link to all five videos:

It was a mini-series that aired on US Public Television in 2001 over the

I love all those PBS "House" shows. The minutiae of day to day life in
the past is so interesting -- how did one procure water and food, cook,
store food, preserve it, wash the house, wash laundry, wash oneself, heat
and light the house, treat illnesses and injuries, care for children,
care for animals?

I find it fascinating, Tara.

I wish I'd been old enough to think to ask my grandparents questions.
They were born in the late 1800's in the horse and buggy era. By the
time they died men they'd seen men landing on the moon, on television.
There was no television, there was no radio when they were young. I can
only imagine what changes they must have seen in their lives.

I agree with Roy. I was born in 1950 and am constantly amazed by the
advances in technology and I embrace as many of them as I can or need.

When I was a kid, the best communications we could get was a phone party
line.

A few weeks ago I was on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean,
working on my laptop, doing business as usual. Making real-time
reservations for customers on other cruise lines, maintaining files,
answering questions, making payments. All my business records available
to me from an online server with a few keystrokes. In fact, I can
access the entirety of my business records from any computer in the
world, 20 years ago, it took 5 huge file cabinets to hold my current
records.

If you take the time to think about it..... it really is astonishing! I
wish I could live another 64 years to see what we come up with next!

Yes, George. But the families participating in the project did have
access to medical care. The producers of the show/project didn't expect
if someone accidentally chopped their leg with an axe they'd have to
deal with it without help. Unlike folks on the prairie in the 1880's.

They were given popular medicines "of the day", many of which were
herbal. They weren't allowed morphine or opium, which were also popular
as "medicine" but didn't cure anything, they just dulled the pain. They
were also given a bottle of whiskey. For "medicinal" purposes. LOL

It's an inciteful look at how people in this century would have handled
things without all of the conveniences we're used to.

That's a tough life. I can't even stand going camping. We really should

My parents gave me the whole deal on having ice delivered, the signs in the windows etc.

My grandmother would NOT use the phone, never drove a car, but could whip up ten pies for a church bake sale and copy any dress in a store window. Ran a boarding house before marrying gramps and was a notoriously good cook. Too bad I didn't get that trait.

If it's the one where people lived like the Anglo-Saxons did around 800
AD. It's a good series. We got it in Canada a few years ago and i only
saw about 30 minutes worth regrettably.

I still can't get the image out of my mind of the participants boiling
down all that bloody disgusting rotting sheep fat to make soap in the
huge black cauldron. Took 2 or 3 days to render it down.

Wrong period; the Iron Age in Britain was a thousand years earlier.

What about the makeup? At the beginning the Clune girls (and Mrs.
Clune) complained because they had to give up mascara. Really? Mascara
is important? Got news for ya, no one is going to care what you look
like when you're milking a cow or feeding chickens.

Oh sure, I heard all about the ice deliveries for the ice box. And the
dairy man. Mom told me about the cream rising to the top of the milk
bottles. My dad had to sit on the back stoop and pluck the chicken his
mother killed for dinner. (He swore they really did run around after
you cut the head off.)

You seem to be doing okay, Kalmia.

Neither of my grandmothers ever drove a car. They weren't adverse to
using the telephone.

My Scottish grandmother took in boarders during the Depression. I heard
about "Uncle Bill" all my life (he died before I was born). I didn't
know until I was an adult he wasn't related, he was a boarder.

My Scottish grandmother would feed the hobos. (They lived in a steel
mill town on a railroad line, lots of folks 'riding the rails' back
then.) Hobos would 'mark' the houses where they could expect to be fed
by friendly families. My German grandmother wasn't nearly as tolerant;
she ran them off with a shotgun.
