Unfinished Revolution

In advance of the county’s 250th anniversary in 2026 Montgomery History has undertaken an ambitious project to create new historical content for Montgomery County. This newly-researched and published material will update, and in some cases revise, the current history of the county, namely A Grateful Remembrance published by Richard K. McMaster and Ray Eldon Hiebert in 1976 for the Bicentennial. (See our page on A Grateful Remembrance for more information on its history and publication.)

For this project, called the ”Unfinished Revolution,” Montgomery History will commission local historians and researchers to write individual essays on specific topics related to the history of Montgomery County that either:

• • address subjects that took place from the 1960s forward; or,
  • address subjects that were underrepresented or completely omitted from the 1976 historical narrative
    

The articles written by each author will first be individually published in an online format (downloadable PDFs) as they are completed. The final product for the “Unfinished Revolution” project will consist of a compilation of all the articles, published as a physical book and available online, as an anthology edition with an introduction and contextualization provided.
