18th Century Colonial Bibliography

Below are references and links for 18th century colonial-focused  works in print, primarily those focusing on clothing/textiles and weapons.  They serve as reference for European-provided goods made available to Native people through trade and gifts.  Others are simply items of interest.  I will sort them by topic over the next few weeks.  You can click on the title of a book to be taken to WorldCat, which will provide edition information and a list of libraries that hold the book, sorted by distance from your location.
