A Lesson in Archival Reality: A Commentary on Donald Ratcliffe's "The Mystery of Ohio's Missing Presidential Returns, 1804–1848"
Abstract
Public record archivists in Ohio should be grateful for Donald Ratcliffe's painstaking search for the missing presidential election returns for the first forty years of statehood. He has done a masterful job in delineating and unraveling the history of these records. His diligence obviously benefitted his research, Ohio archivists, and the state's electoral history as offered statistically by the secretary of state.
