Mill worker graffiti found in the extant buildings (and recorded from demolished ones) is decoded, thus illustrating the depth of the research here. Totaling 223 pages, including notes, a helpful bibliography and index, Morris organizes the book into seven chapters: Education in Indiana, The Growth of Industry in the United States, The Production History of Yount Mill, The Yount Family, The Lives of the Workers, Landscape Reconstruction at Yount Mill, and Conclusions. He illustrates the work with over 70 figures, tables, and graphs. The great value of the book is the rich history it uncovers of the importance of one small-scale manufacturer and how it created a once thriving community. Along the way, Morris paints a compelling, comprehensive narrative of a now mostly vanished rural industrial enterprise, the type of which underpinned the growth of the nation in the 19th century. Morris uses the Yount story to comment on education and its changing focus from pioneer Indiana through the present. Caleb Mills is the Yount educational counterpart: President of Wabash College, four miles distant from the Yount Mill, Mills was a leader in educational reform during the state’s early years. His writings illustrate the struggles to create, fund, and implement a public education system worthy of the name in 19th-century Indiana. Connecting educational reform to the rise and decline of Yount Mill, while commendable, is perhaps the least satisfying aspect of the work. The title unfortunately does not address the author’s thesis that “. . . the extant industrial site serves as a metaphor through which to provide critical commentary for educational policy in the twenty-first century.” The book would also have benefitted from more thorough copyediting. Despite this, Morris takes us on a remarkably innovative journey through a small yet richly detailed slice of American history.","PeriodicalId":44078,"journal":{"name":"HISTORIAN","volume":"83 1","pages":"491 - 493"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49000569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, no historian is uniformly equipped to write a history that covers multiple continents and disparate regions across the globe. It is understandable then that not all chapters derive from archival research. The opening chapters rely heavily on secondary sources, and there is little new or fresh insight provided in these sections. Furthermore, a harsh critic might highlight several campaigns and events that have received little to no attention within the narrative. The British expeditions to the West Indies in the 1790s, and the brutal violence that took place during the Haitian Revolution, could have received greater consideration. Without the benefits of modern medicine, microbes are frequently more lethal than musket or cannon, and this reviewer feels that Mikaberidze could have better accounted for the appalling human cost of disease in campaigns across the globe. While this book should be praised for illustrating the global ramifications of the war in impressive detail, the narrative rarely pauses to reflect on how viewing the war in a global context might change our understanding of the conflict. Despite the global approach to the subject, Mikaberidze tends to ask overly familiar questions that have been posed by earlier scholars: Was Napoleon integral to the failure of the Peace of Amiens? Was he justified in rejecting peace proposals in 1813? Was the legacy of Napoleonic reform a positive one? Greater attention could have been paid to how war acted as a medium for intellectual, cultural, and technological exchange between different military bodies stationed around the world. Despite these faults, the expansive breadth and depth of Mikaberidze’s account will satisfy popular and scholarly audiences. It is a strong singlevolume account of the Napoleonic Wars.","PeriodicalId":44078,"journal":{"name":"HISTORIAN","volume":"83 1","pages":"503 - 505"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44787464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
