The Story of Everyday German Peasant Life David Jon Koehler

This book tells the story of how 90% of the people in the German lands lived for the past 2000 years. It focused on the everyday lives of otherwise faceless, nameless people. The book deals with how they lived, what they ate and drank, what kind of work they did, how they dressed, their religion and the values, their laws, the family systems, their weapons and warfare, how they traveled, their medical care and how they survived through wars, famines and plagues.
