"The Life & Times Of...": Researching and Writing American Local History (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615272719)

From Philadelphia's Revolutionary-era architecture to Albuquerque's adobe, the story of America is told in its neighborhoods. The Second Edition of The Life and Times Of...: Researching and Writing American Local History places a greater emphasis on those communities - how those neighborhoods and communities, as well as the families that created and occupied them, made contributions that had a global impact, expanding on the themes found in the First Edition. The history we write today is our calling card to future generations. It deserves good research. Using plain language instead of jargon, and with instructions instead of theory, "The Life and Times Of..." demonstrates professional techniques that the family and local historian can use in critical areas of their research.
