Nairne marveled at how much the wilderness traders could drink
Taverns and punch-houses, Charlton's, the Bowling Green House, and other haunts of the backwoodsmen, were thronged with a roystering crowd. 'Those sparkes,' wrote one who knew them well, 'make little of drinking 15 or 16 £ at one Bout in Towne.'1 [Note 1: S.P.G. MSS A, II, no. 156 (letter of T. Nairne, 1705)]
