520			_a"Two Centuries of Costume in America, Volume 1 (1620-1820)" by Alice Morse Earle is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume provides a comprehensive exploration of American dress from the early colonial period through to the early 19th century, examining the garments worn by various groups, including Puritans and Pilgrims, as well as their social and cultural implications. The opening of the book delves into the misconceptions surrounding the typical images of Puritan and Pilgrim attire as somber and dull. Earle argues against this notion by highlighting the rich variety of colors and styles that were prevalent among the New England settlers. She discusses the evidence we have from historical documents, inventories, and surviving garments that illustrate a vibrant tradition of dress that reflected both individual identity and social status. Earle paints a picture of colonists in lively russet and scarlet attire, contradicting the stereotype of drab Puritan clothing and emphasizing that the settlers paid careful attention to their apparel as a reflection of their dignity and social standing.
