About the Book




Three census decades arranged alphabetically by state are covered by this volume, with a total of 14 variables (from percent of foreign born to percent of manufacturing employees) presented in tabular format. . . . Researchers studying legislative behavior and aggregate election analysis will find this series indispensable. Choice

United States Congressional Districts and Data, 1883-1913 is an atlas of U.S. congressional districts and almost 10 times the size of Rosenbach's effort and half a century longer in scope. It contains maps of all congressional districts during this period and includes the names and boundaries of all counties within each district. For metropolitan districts it often includes minor civil divisions such as towns, townships, and wards. In addition to the cartographic presentation of each congressional district, this work also presents key demographic data taken from United States censuses relating to each district and its constituent counties. This includes data on population, race, ethnicity, religion, occupation, and various economic variables.

This is the third volume in a multi-volume reference work that will present demographic data from the United States census for each congressional district from the first congress in 1789 until 1956. Like its predecessors, United States Congressional Districts and Data, 1883-1913 will be particularly useful for studying legislative behavior and aggregate election analysis. It will be welcomed by researchers interested in these and other areas requiring U.S. census and congressional data.

Review Quotes




?This volume is the third in a series that seeks to present demographic data from the US census for each congressional district from 1789 to 1956. Volume 1 covered 1788-1841; Volume 2, 1843-1883. Parsons has endeavored to present, in all three volumes, descriptive statistics that are as similar as possible in order to simplify cross-decade series analysis. Three census decades arranged alphabetically by state are covered in this volume, with a total of 14 variables (from percent of foreign born to percent of manufacturing employees) presented in tabular format. Undifferentiated data, however, are used for urban areas since all census information was aggregated at the county level. There are two kinds of useful maps--state maps, showing congressional district boundaries, and political subdivision maps for cities or counties that have more than one congressional district. A convenient user's guide and a table of Congresses precede the tables. Researchers studying legislative behavior and aggregate election analysis will find this series indispensable, along with Kenneth Martis's Historical Atlas of United States Congressional Districts, 1789-1983.?-Choice
