& 49 - The Colonial Heritage The pictures 1. A woman using a spinning wheel to make yarn from wool. The yarn would be made into cloth and clothing. 2. A family shucking corn by removing the leaves. Dried corn kernels would easily last until the next harvest. 3. Benjamin Franklin, one of the most famous Colonial era leaders. He made his fortune as a printer and publisher of "Poor Richard's Almanac." 4. A ship docked at the end of a pier. Port cities grew because of the trade that passed through them. 5. A Colonial era table with books, ink, and feather pens. Only a well-off family would have owned a fancy piece of furniture like this. Today, authentic Colonial era furniture is very valuable. The vocabulary terms A glossary for the vocabulary terms can be found with the link near the top of this section's main index page.
