A Brief History of Proportional Representation in the United States: http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/polit/damy/articles/Brief%20History%20of%20PR.htm is quite short and very readable. Incidentally, from Josephine's article and other articles about this "STV problem" at Princeton University, it is clear that quite a number of those with responsibility for these elections did not properly understand the principles of STV-PR.
