The Man Who Found Thoreau: Roland W. Robbins and the Rise of Historical Archaeology in America (Revisiting New England)
"Linebaugh has breathed new life into the embers of Robbins' career and taken a step towards restoring him to his rightful place in the pantheon, or perhaps rogues gallery, of individuals who have defined the history of historical archaeology . . . Linebaugh's sympathetic biography is an important addition to the literature on the history and development of North American historical archaeology.  It is well written and well researched . . . A job well done"--Historical Archaeology"This well-written, well-researched book is a major contribution to the history of the development of historical archaeology in the US, and a must not only for libraries but also for the bookshelves of students, historians, and archaeologists interested in the history of American archaeology."--Choice"Robbins... helped to inaugurate American historical archaeology, before the emerging professional establishment moved in and wrote him out of the record.  Donald Linebaugh makes a good case for him in The Man Who Found Thoreau."--Times Literary Supplement
