Inn Civility: Urban Taverns and Early American Civil Society
Inn Civility recovers the political and social importance of taverns in early American cities. Vaughn Scribner shows how public houses served as meeting places where travelers, laborers, merchants, officials, and activists exchanged news and negotiated status. By tracing both sociability and conflict inside these spaces, the book explains how taverns helped form civil society before, during, and after the American Revolution.
