Recommmended for Everyone,
By James N. Ezell II (Tuscaloosa, AL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guarding Greensboro: A Confederate Company in the Making of a Southern Community (Hardcover)
This book provides fascinating insight into how a diverse group of individualists including speculators, slaveholding farmers, Jewish merchants, physicians, college students, workmen, European immigrants, and others united for common causes and in turn created a community. Also it does yeoman service in dispelling many of the cherished preconceptions and myths of both lovers of the South and her detractors. By focusing on a small town the author has created a metaphor for hundreds if not thousands of other American communities that arose in the Nineteenth Century. I recommend this book for everyone. It is a satisfying read for the academic as well as the casual student of history and the War Between the States. |
