Mennonites in the Cities of Imperial Russia, Vol. 1

A new book by Helmut T. Huebert (author of the well-thumbed Mennonite Historial Atlases) has recently been published, entitled Mennonites in the Cities of Imperial Russia.  It's a hefty book - 8 1/2" x 11" and 450 pp long.  It covers seven Russian cities where Mennonites lived, featuring long lists and at least cursory description of those residents, businesses, Institutions, and Schools operated by Mennonites, and biographical essays on some of the more notable residents. 

to give you an idea of the content, I'll list the headings from the lists of people and indication of how many people are in the lists as indicated by Huebert.  beneath each list I'll identify the number of Rempels who appear in the list.  This may only be interesting to other Rempel researchers, but it will give you an idea of the scope of the book and whether it belongs on your reference shelf. 

Huebert's book is available for purchase from the MHSA (see link on upper right corner of this webpage)
