Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive examination of birth, marriage, and death registrations in the state of Rhode Island during the 19th century. As registrations became more organized and standardized over time, the author demonstrates how official records serve as a unique lens to understand social and historical change. This study provides rich insights into demographics and disease prevalence during a critical turning point in American history. Beyond statistics, these records reveal how the state developed its infrastructure for data keeping and married couples navigated laws that were in flux. The approach to vital statistics and legal marriage varied state by state at the time, and the author's focus on Rhode Island offers a unique case study for understanding how one state managed to implement vital statistics registration so successfully. The author also delves into the ways marriage laws shaped gender roles, family structures, and societal norms. Overall, the book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the history of public health, social policy, and family life in the United States.
