Boundary, place, and event in the spatiality of history

In this commentary on Philip Ethington's essay, I focus on the importance of boundary as a basic parameter of the spatial dimensions of history. I also emphasize the relationship between place and event in understanding these same dimensions. In these ways and others, I agree with Ethington's overall thesis as to the inherent spatiality of history; my effort is to specify further some of the precise ways in which this is the case.
