Bundling is a practice that was common in colonial America, in which unmarried couples were allowed to sleep together on the same bed, fully clothed, as a way of keeping warm. In this book, Henry Reed Stiles explores the history of bundling in America, from its origins in Europe to its eventual decline in the 19th century. Stiles provides a fascinating look at the social customs and moral values of early America, and sheds light on a little-known aspect of American history.
