来自战场的信件和照片: The World War I Memoir of Margaret Hall

来自战斗国家封面的信件和照片

Edited by Margaret R. Higonnet with Susan Solomon

In August 1918, a Massachusetts-born woman named Margaret Hall boarded a transport ship in New York City that would take her across the Atlantic to work with the American Red Cross in France, just then gripped in devastating and seemingly interminable conflict with Germany. The year she spent near the Western Front was eye opening; careful not to let her experience slip away like a strange dream, 她在一系列信件中详尽地描述了这一点, journals, and nearly 300 photographs that she would weave into a powerful narrative when she returned stateside. That narrative, 马萨诸塞州历史学会收藏的手稿, 现在是第一次出版吗.

埋葬在世界之外:马萨诸塞州监狱内部,1829-1831

编辑和介绍,由菲利普F. Gura

《世外桃源》的封面

Between 1829 and 1831, Jared Curtis, 查尔斯敦马萨诸塞州州立监狱的牧师, interviewed every one of the over 300 inmates and recorded their biographies in two leatherbound notebooks. Those notebooks, 在1998年发现后被完整地转录和注释, form the basis for Buried from the World. The one or two paragraphs that Curtis devoted to each man capture in poignant shorthand lives otherwise lost to history, including details of age, race, upbringing and education, temperance, 以及把那个人带到查尔斯敦的罪行. 古拉的介绍将该文件置于其历史背景中, including a review of 19th-century prison reform and the daily regimen and conditions within the state prison.

The Papers of Robert Treat Paine, Volume 4:1778-1786

Edited by Edward W. Hanson

The fourth volume of this series encompasses Robert Treat Paine’s time as Massachusetts Attorney General. The documents in this volume highlight the quest for order in a nation gripped by violence and upheaval. 潘恩致力于改革和执行法律. Outside of the courtroom, 潘恩一心想着稳定经济, and this volume showcases his fiery views on seemingly mundane topics like price control and counterfeiting. While Paine focused on stabilizing the state, he often neglected his family life. His correspondence with his wife reveals her dissatisfaction when faced with wartime shortages and the challenges of raising a growing brood of children on her own. 本书以潘恩最具影响力的案例之一作为结尾, 这是谢伊斯叛乱后的第一次叛国罪审判.
