Dulles Bourne, Dorothy, & James R. Bourne, Thirty Years of Change in Puerto Rico: A Case Study of Ten Selected Rural Areas, New York: Frederick A. Praeger, 1966.

Dorothy Dulles was born on 24 November 1893, in Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States. She married James Russell Bourne on 6 April 1918, in New Haven, Connecticut, United States. They were the parents of at least 1 son and 1 daughter. She lived in Puerto Rico in 1935 and Rhinebeck, Dutchess, New York, United States in 1940. She died in April 1969, in Dutchess, New York, United States, at the age of 75, and was buried in Rhinebeck, Dutchess, New York, United States.


From the Preface:
”The unique contribution of this project lies in the fact that the directors can look back to Puerto Rico after a period of thirty years and see many changes by direct observation . Data collection, interviews, and information on government programs were used as checks on these observations. The method used was in Redfield’s sense: ‘not merely the technique of observation and analysis, but also the conceptions which allow us to characterize and compare’.”
