I think what people miss here....is that in the 1700s...folks survived the heat spells, without fans, ice, or air conditioning. Guys got up at the crack of dawn, and worked until noon. They sat around a tree in the yard with a bucket of spring water in the afternoon, and maybe did an hour or two of work before the sun went down. They weren’t stupid.
