The lecture collection available online is really impressive.  I looked here

http://nwda-db.wsulibs.wsu.edu/findaid/ark:/80444/xv29769

which seems to be the official trustee of his work, and of course, wikipedia, and found only that he attended a Hamline college for only 2 years.  These are not *my* criteria, but it makes him dangerous to cite.  I see he wrote a fair number of books on various subjects, but I don't see any that scream out to me "Industrial Revolution" - the topic which interests me.  Do his books have a comprehensive works cited at the end, at least as a place to start?  Or, is there a book by another author that makes the same points and uses bullet-proof sources?  Very little comes up from the search "Industrial Revolution" here at the Mises site. 

Thank you

what do you want to know about the industrial revolution?

It's not that I want to know about the IR.  Rather, I want to know more about LeFevre's sources.
