The Irish in Illinois
In this robust yet approachable book, the authors explore the impact of the Irish on Illinois history. While the central argument is that the Irish played an important role in the state's history from its founding, this book does much more than that with its topic. It seeks to outline the differences in the Irish experience in Illinois across time, geography, social, and political structures.At its best, The Irish in Illinois punctures stereotype…
New Light on the Medieval Gough Map of Britain
Remarkably little is known about the earliest surviving separate-sheet medieval map of Britain that takes its name from its former owner, Richard Gough (1735–1809), and that has been variously dated to between 1300 and 1400, and later. It presents a sophisticated cartographical image at a time when detailed maps of individual regions were almost unknown in Europe, yet nothing is agreed about its possible origins, context (ecclesiastical or secula…

Lord Burghley's Map of Lancashire Revisited, c .1576–1590
The manuscript paper map of Lancashire in Lord Burghley's Atlas is generally dated to c.1590 and is widely regarded as having been produced in the aftermath of the Armada.

The map is now argued to be a copy of a vellum original constructed probably in Lancashire c.1576–1577. It was subsequently …
Caprock Canyonlands Archeology
Archeological investigations at Lake Alan Henry, in Garza and Kent Counties, Texas, between 1987 and 1993 generated much archeological data relevant to interpreting late Holocene human activities. This review goes beyond the project boundary to synthesize the late prehistory and history of the Texas Panhandle Plains, with special emphasis on the north-south band of rugged canyons found along the Caprock Escarpment, herein defined as the Caprock C…
