T. A. Milford. The Gardiners of Massachusetts: Provincial Ambition and the British-American Career. (Revisiting New England: The New Regionalism.) Hanover, N.H.: University of New Hampshire Press. 2005. Pp. xi, 306. Cloth $65.00, paper $26.00.

The title of this book might better be Three Gardiners, since it concerns only one member in each generation: Silvester Gardiner, his son, John, and John's son, John Sylvester John. T. A. Milford makes good use of a trove of family papers to reconstruct each man's public career and has read widely in manuscripts, newspapers, and magazines on both sides of the Atlantic in order to situate his subjects in their place and times. Milford views the Gardiners as simultaneously British and American because they were active participants in the intellectual and economic life of the empire.
