Interpreting local culture and history
|
"In these essays, historians firmly rooted in the Pacific Northwest and the Great Basin share their experiences in bringing a wide variety of resources to bear in the illumination of local community life. The result is a range of techniques of value to all those who accept the challenge to interpret their own local culture and history with fresh insight and perspective." -- Publisher |
