Download or read book The Micro-historian's Guide to Research, Evidence, & Conclusions written by Reginald W. Bacon and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-09-18 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Micro-Historian’s Guide to Research, Evidence, & Conclusions imparts useful guidance to motivated historians, genealogists, special interest researchers, and local history enthusiasts. As long-buried sources become available via the internet, more regular folks without a Ph.D. in history are joining the fun of information-gathering and shining new light on under-explored history – yet often with no foundation of method. The author answers the call with this volume, “paying forward” the guidance received from long-ago mentors as well as from present-day historians and archivists. Topics include research planning & execution, evaluation of evidence, formulation of conclusions, and the crafting of a summary narrative. Each topic is enriched by practical examples from the author’s experience. The aim is to help the new practitioner build a foundation of research skills that leads to evidence-based conclusions. The author’s perspective of experience – as a disciplined researcher, but also with roots as a no-nonsense old-school newspaper reporter – occasionally prompts a mild tease of the buttoned-down genealogy proof standard, or conversely, a deflating poke at flabby interpretation … and moribund academic writing … wherever it may fester. The Micro-Historian’s Guide to Research, Evidence, & Conclusions draws theory from dozens of history, genealogy, historiography, and research giants through the ages. The book also pays tribute to that long-ago cigar-chomping newspaper editor who admonished a young reporter: “Yer mother sez she loves ya’? You still gotta check it out!”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A meticulous mixture of social and family history . . . Whether or not you have mining connections, this is an interesting socio-economic read.” —Your Family Tree In the 1920s there were over a million coalminers working in over 3000 collieries across Great Britain, and the industry was one of the most important and powerful in British history. It dominated the lives of generations of individuals, their families, and communities, and its legacy is still with us today—many of us have a coalmining ancestor. Yet family historians often have problems in researching their mining forebears. Locating the relevant records, finding the sites of the pits, and understanding the work involved and its historical background can be perplexing. That is why Brian Elliott’s concise, authoritative and practical handbook will be so useful, for it guides researchers through these obstacles and opens up the broad range of sources they can go to in order to get a vivid insight into the lives and experiences of coalminers in the past. His overview of the coalmining history—and the case studies and research tips he provides—will make his book rewarding reading for anyone looking for a general introduction to this major aspect of Britain’s industrial heritage. His directory of regional and national sources and his commentary on them will make this guide an essential tool for family historians searching for an ancestor who worked in coalmining underground, on the pit top or just lived in a mining community. As featured in Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine and the Barnsley Chronicle.

Book excerpt: In Whispers from the Past, the small, picturesque town of Eldridge is a place steeped in history, but its most mysterious landmark is the crumbling Thornton estate. For decades, the grand manor has been shrouded in rumors of betrayal, tragedy, and murder. Historian Emma Cartwright arrives in Eldridge, drawn by the legends of the Thornton estate, and soon becomes entangled in a web of secrets that have been buried for generations. As Emma explores the neglected estate, she uncovers a hidden diary belonging to Clara Thornton, a member of the prominent Thornton family who met a tragic end. Through Clara’s heart-wrenching letters and journal entries, Emma learns of a forbidden love affair with William Ravenscroft, and the shadowy forces that tore them apart. But the more Emma unearths, the more she realizes that Clara's death was not the result of an accident but a carefully orchestrated betrayal. Emma delves deeper into the family’s dark history, discovering hidden compartments, forgotten letters, and cryptic clues that point to a conspiracy involving financial deceit, love triangles, and secrets that stretch beyond the grave. As the pieces of the puzzle fall into place, Emma finds herself in danger, echoing the same patterns that led to Clara’s demise. The investigation leads to a shocking final revelation that rocks the town of Eldridge and exposes the truth behind the Thornton family's downfall. The story unfolds over multiple episodes, each revealing a new layer of intrigue, betrayal, and redemption as Emma uncovers the whispers of the past that still echo in the present. In the end, Emma must confront the powerful legacy of betrayal that continues to haunt the estate. Whispers from the Past is a gripping mystery that explores how the actions of the past shape the future, and how the search for truth can bring both closure and danger.
