Paul.,
There's quite a bit available from my NPS office in Lincoln related to
Springfield, Illinois, and other MIdwestern cities in which NPS manages
presidential homes, national historic sites, and the like. You can get a
list of available publications on our website
http://www.cr.nps.gov/mwac/index.htm. There are also others no longer in
print, and I can compile some bibliographic info when I return to the
office later next month.

Folks;
I am assembling a paper on urban historical archaeology in the Midwest and
would like some help finding CRM studies and lightly published,
unpublished, or in-progress papers, theses, or dissertations. The issue of
what defines the "Midwest" is relatively flexible in my mind,
conservatively
including the Old Northwest territories (i.e., the full range of what
became
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, as well as the eastern
half of Minnesota), but in some minds it includes the space from Pittsburgh
to the Dakotas south into Upland Kentucky. Given the relative paucity of
material, I'm inclined to define this expansively rather than narrowly.
Likewise, I can see defining urbanity relatively broadly as well.
I have work represented like Jane Baxter in Chicago, Tim Baumann in St.
Louis, Paul Shackel and Chris Finnell in New Philadelphia, and Mike
Nassaney in Battle Creek, but there must be some more fine CRM studies in
particular that are momentarily escaping me. If you might know of some
work that is in the grey literature or otherwise not widely published--and
please feel free to self-promote--please pass on a citation and ideally a
portion of the piece or some way I can get to it without a trip to every
SHPO archive in the region. You can reply to me off-list, and I can always
post the full list of citations later if folks have any interest.
Thanks,
Paul
