Christopher Nelson defended his MS Thesis today. His study, titled The C. R. Patterson and Sons Company of Greenfield, Ohio: Survival and Adaptation of a Black-Owned Company in the Vehicle Building Industry, 1865-1939.
Chris completed a tremendous search for primary and secondary documents and oral histories about the C. R. Patterson company. In his thesis, he tied those scattered documents together to build a narrative about the company's leaders and the Patterson family. He did a good job with his presentation and passed his defense. I'm sure his committee asked him for a list of revisions in the document, but kudos to Chris on a job well done!

I'd love to read this thesis. Our family is related to the Pattersons. My dad wrote a book about him http://stalwartpublications.homestead.com/
