Here and Everywhere Else investigates the compelling issue of identity formation in American towns and challenges other scholars to revisit some of their basic assumptions about rural agency. It's well researched, accessible, and filled with rich and revealing stories. --Eric J. Morser, author of The Fires of New England: A Story of Protest and Rebellion in Antebellum America Here and Everywhere Else makes a significant contribution to the growing historical framework of microhistory by showing how we can understand vast and sweeping change through the prism of a small town's experience. Witmer is very effective in demonstrating how wider currents of religion, politics, education, economic and industrial change, developments in art and media, and environmental thought and tourism filtered through the experiences of the people who lived in and encountered Monson. --Shelby M. Balik, author of Rally the Scattered Believers: Northern New England's Religious Geography
