"Horace Mann (May 4, 1796 - August 2, 1859) was an American educational reformer and Whig politician known for his commitment to promoting public education. In 1848, after public service as Secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Education, Mann was elected to the United States House of Representatives (1848 - 1853). From September 1852 to his death, he served as President of Antioch College. Arguing that universal public education was the best way to turn unruly American children into disciplined, judicious republican citizens, Mann won widespread approval from modernizers, especially in the Whig Party, for building public schools. Most U.S. states adopted a version of the system Mann established in Massachusetts, especially the program for normal schools to train professional teachers. Educational historians credit Horace Mann, along with Henry Barnard and Catherine Beecher as one of the major advocates of the Common School Movement.

Octavo, brown illustrated cloth (hardcover), map illustrated endpapers, vii + 166 pp, errata sheet, numerous fold-out illustrations. Good+, with foxing to covers. From Preface: The compilation of the Dutchess County Guide is based upon such a great wealth of material that the most difficult task has been that of selection. To meet the requirements of a book of useful size much material has reluctantly been omitted. An attempt has been made to include significant historical data and to record for present and future generations the many facts in connection with places, houses, and people which are now known only to older members of the community. Great care has been exercised to secure accuracy, and as a result of this effort with the use of original sources, and much personal consultation, some generally accepted data have been rejected as unreliable.
