5.0 out of 5 stars
Great first-hand account of reconstruction,
By Lucien Bonaparte (Durham, North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Union Officer in the Reconstruction (Paperback)
De Forest describes his experiences as a Freedmen's Bureau agent during Reconstruction in Greenville, SC. Not only is his story very engaging, but he provides a unique look into the turmoils of reconstruction, why it failed, and the real people that existed at the time. Although De Forest does regard the South as defeated and backwards, he maintains a fairly balanced outlook despite his status. De Forest is very good at describing the decay of the Old South and the birth of the modern southern US. Overall, an excellent work.
