SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY
Though all referenced materials were valuable, I owe a particular debt of gratitude to William F. Carroll for his book Brockton: From Rural Parish to Urban Center. The depth of his research and swift chronological style proved to be extremely helpful in my preparation of this history. Though many of Carroll's angles and ultimately his conclusion are much different from mine, I greatly appreciate his work and his undoubted love of Brockton. Thank you also to all photographic contributors to his book.
