Review # 1 was written on 2020-11-20 00:00:00 Gregory Costello Roxan's Children: The Biography of a Nineteenth-Century Vermont Family takes the reader through three generations. Many of Roxana's children moved out west, even as far as California in search of successful employment. Some returned. Some she never saw again. Through the use of letters, journal entries and photos, Lynn A. Bonfield pieces together the lives of Roxana Walbridge Watts, her children, and grandchildren giving the reader a cohesive view of the life of a 19th century Vermont family.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-01-20 00:00:00 Lisa Brazzel Comprehensive study of the election of 1884. I will say that I'm mystified by how inadequate his coverage was of African American politics during this period, especially since he gave such thorough coverage to other groups and issues during this time. I'm curious as to how much research he even did into black newspapers during this period. I know there's a lot out there about African Americans and the election of 1884, because, well, I wrote a chapter of my master's thesis on it. :)
