Bucklin logo items to show your interest in American history.

Books and articles on American History, the American Revolution, and the Bucklin Family History and Genealogy.

Our Society has its own internal reference of books,  journal articles, documents, and various other sources regarding Bucklins and early American History. It is available to us, but not in a format where we can yet place it online for the public. We call our internal office list of those items our "Library Catalog."

References in brackets] on any page in this website are to books, or other materials, listed in the Joseph Bucklin Society Library Catalog.

Our priority in preparing a list for public viewing on this website -is the preparation of two bibliographies, limited to references which are of special interest to researchers and historians studying, as follows:

• Bibliography # 1: the history of the Gaspee Affair, including its setting and causes, and its aftermath and results; and
• Bibliography # 2: Bucklin family history, emphasizing the period of 1600 to 1899, with particular reference to the original Bucklin New England settlements and their extensions into other colonies and states.

The 1772 Rhode Island capture and burning of the English ship Gaspee has special interest to Bucklins because of the involvement of Joseph Bucklin 5th, for whom our society is named. Because the Joseph Bucklin Society is one of the few places deliberately collecting a list of the books and articles on the Gaspee affair, Bibliography # 1 is absorbing any "free" time of volunteers.

When completed this Gaspee history bibliography will be known as  the "Gaspee Shelf."   It already has over 300 entries. This will be a major resource for persons studying the Gaspee Affair and writing papers about it.
