Edward Palmer: the Man and His Family available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Much has been written about Edward Palmer's explorations and botanical achievements, the most comprehensive by Rogers McVaugh in his book, Edward Palmer, Plant Explorer of the American West (1956), and Marvin D. Jeter, editor of Edward Palmer's Arkansaw Mounds (1990; 2010). But despite their extensive and far reaching research into Palmer's explorations, Palmer and his family are still somewhat of a mystery. Palmer piqued my interest as I read through some of his journals and correspondence in the National Anthropological Archives at the Smithsonian Institution. I wanted to know more about this seemingly frail, lonely man, not Palmer the botanist, or Palmer the doctor, or Palmer the collector, but what made Palmer the man.

During the 1880s a massive scientific effort was launched by the Smithsonian Institution to discover who had built the prehistoric burial mounds found throughout the United States. Arkansaw Mounds tells the story of this exploration and of Edward Palmer, one of the nineteenth century’s greatest natural historians and archaeologists, who was recruited to lead the research project. Arkansas was unusually rich in prehistoric remains, especially mounds, and became a major focus of the study. Palmer and his team of researchers discovered that the mounds had been built by the ancestors of the historic North American Indians, shattering the then-popular theory that a lost non-Indian race had built them.

This book was released on 1994-10-17. E.P. Thompson available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Edward Thompson, perhaps the greatest post-war historian in the English-speaking world, died in 1993. In this readable and unabashedly appreciative survey of Thompson’s histories and politics, Byran D. Palmer reviews include a passionate biographical account of the late-nineteenth-century Romantic William Morris, the hugely acclaimed The Making of the English Working Class, and a series of eighteenth-century studies that reach from customary culture to the antinomian poetics of William Blake. In reviewing the politics which gave shape to his historical work, Palmer assesses the role of Thompson’s family background in India, his youth in the Communist Party, his decisive break with Stalinism in 1956, and his subsequent work campaigning for the causes of the left and nuclear disarmament. Thompson was never comfortable in an academic milieu, and eventually left formal teaching in the 1970s to devote his time to research and writing. His pen was always ready to bend against the powers of the state, and against a left he too often saw as abandoning the cause of social transformation. For readers who know Thompson’s work, Palmer’s discussion of hitherto unstudied aspects of his life will be novel and illuminating; those less familiar with his prodigious achievement will find these pages a useful introduction.
