Population Persistence and Migration in Rural New York, 1855-1860 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781138045736)

David Paul Davenport is a Californian who studied Rural New York in the mid-nineteenth century at the University of Illinois, Urbana, under O. Vernon Burton who is now at Clemson University. He taught American History and World Regional Geography for 25 years before retiring in 2008 to focus on research and writing about the American Civil War. His third non-fiction work title is in production. He also undertakes Genealogy research for clients who believe they may have relatives who fought for the Union in the Civil War and for cemeteries in California's San Joaquin Valley who need biographies of veterans who need headstones. He lives in Fresno and provides food to the spayed or neutered cats in the neighborhood.
