Critical Praise for
"The Life and Times Of..." 
 
"Will Carpenter's book first connects the dots between English history and American local history, then takes the reader through the steps, processes and methods essential to properly researching and writing a local or family history." - American Local History

"Well written and occasionally humorous, it's ideal for the person new to local or family history who's looking for a book that teaches the practical aspects of research, without making assumptions or getting bogged down in argument about historical theory." - Captiva

"It covers the basics of doing local history in the unique American historical environment, introduces the reader to some of the surprising ways a computer can be used in doing history and guides the reader through the steps necessary to turn rough notes into a finished historical work." - Amazon.com
 
 
 All history is contemporary history.
