Kruski A Guide to Chicago and Midwestern Polish-American Genealogy This new guidebook is the first comprehensive introduction to Polish genealogy in years. Since Polish-Americans (including the author) proliferate in Chicago and the U.S. Midwest, they are the focus; however, much of the advice set forth here will apply to the majority of U.S. residents of Polish Catholic origin, as well as to records in Poland themselves. (Persons of Polish Jewish/Lithuanian/Ruthenian ancestry are not covered in Mr. Kruski’s book.) Since Polish immigration to the United States began in earnest following the American Civil War, and was heaviest during the last quarter of the nineteenth and first quarter of the twentieth century, this era is the chronological focal point of the work.

Schouler Americans of 1776 Daily Life in Revolutionary America p>James Schouler's Americans of 1776 is not a typical narrative history of the Revolution but rather a unique and fascinating study of the daily life and manners of the Revolutionary period, intended to bring out "some features of an heroic age and its people, which should interest posterity and yet are unfamiliar to us."
