SIDELIGHTS: Frederick Kellogg once told CA: "Along with many contemporaries I seek to understand our global milieu. My thoughts about it all have been chaotic, but penning on paper and a word processor enables me to espy some harmony.

"History attracted me because of the romance, mystery, and adventure of bygone days. Romania seemed especially mysterious. Indeed, my urge to scribble about Romanian yesterdays stemmed largely from a lack of reliable information in English about Carpatho-Danubia, the Romanian-inhabited region of Eastern Europe comprising the eastern Carpathian Mountains, the lower Danube River, and the northwestern shore of the Black Sea.

"After picking several intriguing subjects, I teed off by exploring archives and libraries in America, England, Austria, Germany, France, Russia, and Romania. I soon realized that studying Romanian alone would not suffice. I must also handle Slavic, Uralic, Altaic, and additional Indo-European tongues. Yet posing questions, collecting data, and learning languages were only the start. I needed to make sense of my findings. A glimmer came once I began to write.

"My endeavors have had two major thrusts. One is historiography. For instance, A History of Romanian Historical Writing looks at Romanian and foreign notions about Carpatho-Danubia from the fifteenth century onward. I chose this topic to assist English readers in recognizing the richness of the Romanians' heritage, and to provide a launching pad for fresh research into the Romanian past. My second thrust is diplomacy. The Road to Romanian Independence probes Romania's passage from political dependency to national sovereignty, from the 1860s to 1880. I selected this theme, again, owing to a paucity of relevant scholarly works, to sift the Danubian Romanians' challenges from the neighboring empires of Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey, as well as to shed light on Romania's quest for material progress, its civil rights, and its relations with other peoples and regimes in southeastern and western Europe.

"These two thrusts readied me to contemplate the Romanians' goals and efforts, along with their accomplishments and persisting problems, on a broad canvas depicting their economy, society, politics, and culture. I discovered thereby some tentative approaches to my current project embracing Romania and the Romanians from prehistory to the present."
