"Salmon is an intellectual lion. . . . A scholar whose radical historical vision took in objects, living history, and laundry lists as primary documents, Salmon was model for contemporary material culture specialists concerned with including the experiences of everyday people in the telling of history."—History News
Innovative Vassar historian Salmon (1853-1927) would bring to class documents of everyday life<-->laundry lists, grocery receipts, and newspapers<-->and insist that her students take them seriously as historical documents. Thus she anticipated by some decades the current practice of focusing on methodology rather than narrative, and on apparatus rather than story. Here are 20 essays representing a cross-section of her work from 1897 forward. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

History and the Texture of Modern Life: Selected Essays
Repeats itself a bit in places, but clearly written and a very interesting topic. The analysis of bigger themes and impacts is also clear, but maybe a bit superficial - perhaps on purpose to make it accessible to a wider audience.
