Abstract

About the time I received this book for review, I received a note from a graduating history major who had written her senior thesis on the short life (1978- 2000) of a local grassroots organization, the Danbury Preservation Trust. The purpose of the student's letter was to thank me for suggesting the topic because her research on the efforts to save "the old, dusty buildings" that provided the physical backdrop to her life had made the study of history exciting and meaningful. This young historian without realizing it strongly endorsed the rationale for the Exploring Community History series of which this slim volume is the third and most recent publication.
