Current, Richard Nelson. Those terrible carpetbaggers. New York: Oxford University Press, 1988, 2d printing, x, 475pp., large PAPERBACK, very good. Woodrow Wilson described them as men bent on "an expedition of profit," who used "the negroes as tools for their own selfish ends." Horance Greeley, while running for President, said they were "fellows who crawled down south in the track of our armies, generally at a very safe distance in the rear." And in the South they were hotly condemned as "the larvae of the North," "vulturous adventurers," and "vile, oily, odious." But how accurately does this describe the men from the North who came to be called "carpetbaggers"? Were they uneducated, penniless exploiters of the freed slave, jackals who plundered a devastated South? In this eye-opening account, the eminent Civil War historian Richard Nelson Current weaves together the biographies of ten of these men--all of whom are representative, if not the epitome, of the men called "carpetbaggers." The result is a provocative revisionist history of Reconstruction and what has long been considered its "most disgraceful" episode.^, Set within the larger context of Congressional politics and the history of individual Southern states, Current's narrative reveals a group of men who were often highly educated, almost all of whom had served with distinction in the Union Army (three were generals), and several of whom brought their own money down South to help rebuild a war-torn land. Daniel H. Chamberlain, for instance, was educated at Yale and Harvard Law School--he was described by the President of Yale as "a born leader of men"--Was governor of South Carolina, and later made a fortune as a Wall Street lawyer. Adelbert Ames, far from exploiting the black, was a leading exponent of black rights, the author of the main brief of the Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson, a major court battle against segregation. And Albion W. Tourgee, author of the best-selling A Fool's Errand, was praised after his death by W.E.B. du Bois for his efforts on behalf of the freed slaves.^, Current's vivid narrative captures the passions of this tumultuous period as he documents the careers and private lives of these ten prominent men. But more important, he provides a major reinterpretation of the entire period, revealing Reconstruction as it was seen by ten of its leading exponents in the South. 9780195048735 ISBN 0195048733.

Small trade paperback. Published as part of the "Schomburg Library of Nineteenth Century Woman Writers." Foreword by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Introduction by Frances Smith Foster. Facsimile of the title page of the second edition and of the frontispiece portrait from that edition. Long considered the only novel written by Harper (it was the only one published in book form), one of the most important African American women writers of the 19th century. Harper, who was well-known as a lecturer, first against slavery, then for the freedpeople and for temperance, was also a very popular writer. In many ways typical of the black fiction of this period, this novel features superheroes, both male and female. However, Harper was unusual in that women's lives were put first - she reversed the image of the tragic mulatto heroine by creating a character who was a political and social activist - one who chose to be black despite her light skin. She was also concerned about presenting a picture of slavery which revealed its harshness, in an attempt to counteract the revisionist images which were becoming popular late in the 19th century. xxxix, 282 pp. Near fine in glossy illustrated wrappers.

8vo, 300p., illustrations, index, blue cloth, a fine copy in fine jacket, as new (gar). ~ In this collection, James Axtell explorers the historical legacy of the "Columbian exchange" in colonial North America. Arguing that moral judgments have a legitimate place in the writing of history, he scrutinizes the actions of various European invaders - missionaries, traders, soldiers, and ordinary settlers - in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. From the dual perspective of ethnohistory, Axtell also probes the Indian responses to those strangers from antoher world.
