Brief description: Vaughn Scribner is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Central Arkansas.
Review Quotes: "Inn Civility contains amazing descriptions of what it was like for a person--gentle or otherwise--to enter into a mid-eighteenth-century coffeehouse or tavern... Scribner paints a beautiful picture of how urban taverns brought together a cross section of urban society, thus serving as sites for reinforcing, as well as undermining, the ideal colonial social order."-- "Early American Literature"
