The Beginnings of the Connecticut Towns

Notes from the Margin: Race, Relevance and the Making of Public Administration

“…(pp. 434-435) An outgrowth of this historiography, on display in the journals cited here particularly between 1890 and 1910, was the extensive treatment of state histories of the eastern seaboard (Andrews, 1890;Boles, 1899; Downloaded by [University of Nebraska, Lincoln] at 11:06 14 June 2016 Duniway, 1906;Howe, 1899;Morey, 1893Morey, , 1895White, 1907).
