This title provides a selection of essays from one of today's foremost Southern historians exploring the past of the American South.

The past of the American South, with its peculiarities of tragic proportions-a system of slavery flourishing in a land of freedom, secession and Civil War tearing at the Union, poverty persisting in a nation of fast-paced development-is fertile ground for great works of history. Here in wide-ranging essays, today's foremost Southern historian turns over the rich soil of life in the South.

Edward L. Ayers, a recipient of the National Humanities Medal, has won the Bancroft and Lincoln Prizes for his innovative histories of Civil War America. He is president emeritus of the University of Richmond, where he is executive director of New American History.
