However, there isn't much information available about the author online beyond his publications.
Here is what I could find:
* "Modern Europe to 1871" (co-authored with R.C. Binkley and W.E. Lingelbach). This book is a classic text used in many college courses, focusing on European history.
* "History of the United States" (co-authored with R.C. Binkley). This book delves into American history, providing a comprehensive overview of the subject.
Based on these publications, it seems likely that Franklin L. Baumer was an academic historian, potentially a professor.
If you're looking for more information about his life or other works, you might try searching for him in academic databases or contacting universities where he may have taught.
