A Puritan Outpost

A History of the Town and People of Northfield, Massachusetts

By: Herbert C. Parsons

A Puritan Outpost by Herbert C. Parsons, which was originally published in 1937, is the history of Northfield, Massachusetts, “a distinctive New England town, the farthest venture of Puritan pioneering to the west and north in the seventeenth century, which had to be claimed by venturesome settlers three times before its foothold was even relatively secure. Through nearly a century it was exposed to the recurrent assaults and the constant peril of French and Indian invasion, with intermissions when the settlers were dislodged, during one of which it was the thronging seat of the command of the arch-enemy of white occupation, the dubiously crowned King Philip. “Toughened through generations of hardihood, its people developed the sturdy, self-reliant, pious, prudent and independent community, thoroughly characteristic of their unmixed British blood and Puritan heritage. Consistently with such background and distinctly out of such breeding, one of the sons it sent out to varied careers in the world’s affairs came to fame and widespread service as an evangelistic leader and by his hand the added feature was bestowed upon it of being a school and religious centre. “The town’s respect for its historic past has led to the writing of the story.”

Leaving Campus

A World War II Epitaph

By: Dr. Michael Herbert

While America was struggling to claw its way out of the Great Depression, and the shadow of war growing stronger by the day, life for the students of Bemidji State Teachers College remained largely untouched by the looming threat of war. The surprise attack by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, changed the lives of those students in a very tragic way. This is the story of the lives of students of Bemidji State Teachers College who enlisted in military service after the United States was drawn into the war and who later lost their lives in the service to their country.

Judicial Selection in the States

Politics and the Struggle for Reform

By: Herbert M. Kritzer

Using detailed case studies of the relevant US states, Herbert Kritzer provides an unprecedented examination of the process and politics of how states select and retain judges. The book is organized around the competing goals of politics and professionalism, namely whether the focus in choosing judges should be on future judicial decisions (court outputs) or on the court processes by which those decisions are reached. Or, in considering who should be a judge, whether the emphasis should be on political credentials or on professional credentials. One important finding is that political concerns have surpassed professionalism concerns since 2000. Another is that voters have been more supportive of professionalism in selecting appellate judges than trial judges. Judicial Selection in the States should be read by anyone seeking a deep understanding of the complex interplay between politics and the judiciary at the state level in the United States.
