"Americans in the early 19th century were, as one foreign traveller bluntly put it, \"filthy, bordering on the beastly\"--Perfectly at home in dirty, bug-infested, malodorous surroundings. Many a home swarmed with flies, barnyard animals, dust, and dirt; clothes were seldom washed; men hardly ever shaved or bathed. Yet gradually all this changed, and today Americans are known worldwide for their obsession with cleanliness - for their sophisticated plumbing, daily bathing, shiny hair and teeth, and spotless clothes. In Chasing Dirt, Suellen Hoy provides a colorful history of this remarkable transformation from \"dreadfully dirty\" to \"cleaner than clean,\" ranging from the pre-Civil War era to the 1950s, when America's obsession with cleanliness reached its peak." .
