“Excellent”: review of Necessaries and Sufficiencies

Necessaries and Sufficiencies“…an excellent resource…” says Laurie Glenn Norris writing in Atlantic Books Today about Necessaries and Sufficiencies: Planter Society in Londonderry, Onslow and Truro, 1761-1780 by Carol Campbell and James F. Smith.

The review goes on to say, “It should serve as a model for other in-depth historical studies … that enlighten those of us not content with cursory knowledge of our past.”

In March, a Chronicle Herald review by Margaret Conrad called the book a “…splendid tribute … to the 250th anniversary [2011] of the arrival of the Planters….”

Necessaries and Sufficiencies is shortlisted for two Atlantic Book Awards to be handed out on May 17 in St. John’s.
