I have discovered some interesting characters from my family's genealogy, circa 1850s Massachusetts (Connecticut River valley area and the western hill towns) and wondered if you might direct me to any reading (fiction or not) that could give me a sense of life as it existed in those places and times? Thanks Hello … I have discovered some interesting characters from my family’s genealogy, circa 1850s Massachusetts (Connecticut River valley area and the western hill towns) and wondered if you might direct me to any reading (fiction or not) that could give me a sense of life as it existed in those places and times?

If you are that way you could announce your posts and I could keep up with them. I have yet to figure any other way of keeping up with blogs. I'm a historian working at a history museum in TN. Found your site while looking for an image of an "ancient spindle". LOL. Check out my blog - totally unrelated. Nice blog – hey are you on Facebook?

Check my history blog out about the county I live in. Ellis County Texas. Created out of Navarro County on December 20, 1849. Places In The Heart was filmed here and the story line was created based on actual events in Ellis County. You have a Great blog! Check my history blog out about the county I live in.

I aim to make a documentary that retraces the two-year long voyage through the Americas of the 1850's of my Swiss Great-Great-Grandfather, Henri de Buren, a naturalist, artist and explorer.

Check out the bibliographies, choose your focus, then I'm afraid you'll have to dig and delve into town records and other primary sources. Best of luck! Bob,

I (will, 2 more months!) have a degree in Humanistic Studies, which focuses on history, literature, and how we (as a Western society) became who we are today. I wrote my senior thesis on the Middle Ages, so that's my particularly favorite area of interest. Looking forward to following your site.

I am thinking of writing a book on the Ct witch trials of the 1600's. Any advice on how to start? thanks in advance. Hi there, i love your site. I myself am a bit of a history buff.
