"Rescued from Oblivion: Historical Cultures in the Early United States is a smart and clear-eyed assessment of how early historical societies shaped the way Americans thought about their past, for better or worse . . . It should serve as a valuable resource for anyone entering the public history profession."—The Public Historian
"Rescued from Oblivion is abundant with the kind of details that make for stimulating history, with interesting personalities, decisions with lasting consequences, and the restoration to the historical record of women and others who have previously been neglected."—Robert B. Townsend, author of History's Babel: Scholarship, Professionalization, and the Historical Enterprise in the United States, 1880–1940
"In this richly layered study of archival history, Henle highlights not only the prejudices and priorities that members of early historical societies brought to their work but the various ways those prejudices and priorities were challenged by other historical actors."—Elizabeth Yale, author of Sociable Knowledge: Natural History and the Nation in Early Modern Britain
