I was browsing the catalog of books for spring/summer 2010 and see LOTS of interesting titles and descriptions of books. I hope members on the forum will be willing to write something of their thoughts on these titles.
Titles range from social and religious history to military history. Some of the more interesting ones to me are the ones that are antebellum in nature. Just as an example:
Intellectual Life and the American South, 1810–1860 An Abridged Edition of Conjectures of Order
by Michael O’Brien; Foreword by Daniel Walker Howe
The Color of the Land: Race, Nation, and the Politics of Landownership in Oklahoma, 1832–1929
by David A. Chang
Oregon and the Collapse of Illahee: U.S. Empire and the Transformation of an Indigenous World, 1792–1859
by Gray H. Whaley
Thomas Day: Master Craftsman and Free Man of Color
by Patricia Phillips Marshall and Jo Ramsay Leimenstoll; Foreword by Jeffrey J. Crow
Among the Civil War titles that seem interesting to me are:
Reluctant Rebels: The Confederates Who Joined the Army after 1861
by Kenneth W. Noe (previous post HERE)
First Fruits of Freedom: The Migration of Former Slaves and Their Search for Equality in Worcester,
Massachusetts, 1862–1900
by Janette Thomas Greenwood
Confederate Minds: The Struggle for Intellectual Independence in the Civil War South
by Michael T. Bernath
David Ruggles: A Radical Black Abolitionist and the Underground Railroad in New York City
by Graham Russell Gao Hodges
The Long Shadow of the Civil War:Southern Dissent and Its Legacies
by Victoria E. Bynum
