I think of it as a social history of the deaf in America from early days through the American Civil War including the restrictive attitudes of many hearing people. Even more, it is a testament to the individuals who fostered change as much as those who were oppressed because of an aspect of themselves which no one had any control over. Not just those profoundly deaf from birth, but those with acquired hearing loss from Illness (Scarlet Fever, Meningitis), or injury (blast concussive effect, noise of war). There is excellent research done and well documented and complete with assorted photographs. I think it's GREAT!
