Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Ellet's Brigade: The Strangest Outfit of All'Book summary:Soon after the start of the Civil War, during the naval buildup on the central Mississippi River, celebrated civil engineer Charles Ellet, Jr., formed the Ram Fleet under U.S. secretary of war Edwin M. Stanton. Perhaps the most bizarre unit organized by the Union, the rams were shunned by both the army and navy as superfluous instruments of war. However, on June 6, 1862, they proved their worth by defeating the Confederate River Defense Fleet ironclads at Memphis while the U.S. Navy simply watched. In this lively study, Chester G. Hearn details the formation and wartime exploits of Ellet's fleet, reviving the history of this fascinating but forgotten brigade. AUTHOR BIO: Chester G. Hearn is the author of many books on the Civil War, including Gray Raiders of the Sea; The Capture of New Orleans, 1862; When the Devil Came Down to Dixie: Ben Butler in New Orleans; and Six Years of Hell: Harpers Ferry During the Civil War. He lives in Erie, Pennsylvania. [via]

The Emancipation Proclamation: Three Viewsby Harold Holzer, Frank J. Williams, Edna Greene Medford, John Hope FranklinISBN 080713144X (0-8071-3144-X)
Hardcover, Louisiana State Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Emancipation Proclamation: Three Views'Book summary:The Emancipation Proclamation is the most important document of arguably the greatest president in U.S. history. Now, Edna Greene Medford, Frank J. Williams, and Harold Holzereminent experts in their fieldsremember, analyze, and interpret the Emancipation Proclamation in three distinct respects: the influence of and impact upon African Americans; the legal, political, and military exigencies; and the role pictorial images played in establishing the document in public memory. The result is a carefully balanced yet provocative study that views the Proclamation and its author from the perspective of fellow Republicans, anti-war Democrats, the press, the military, the enslaved, free blacks, and the antislavery white establishment, as well as the artists, publishers, sculptors, and their patrons who sought to enshrine Abraham Lincoln and his decree of freedom in iconography.
Medford places African Americans, the people most affected by Lincolns edict, at the center of the drama rather than at the periphery, as previous studies have done. She argues that blacks interpreted the Proclamation much more broadly than Lincoln intended it, and during the postwar years and into the twentieth century they became disillusioned by the broken promise of equality and the realities of discrimination, violence, and economic dependence. Williams points out the obstacles Lincoln overcame in finding a way to confiscate propertyenslaved humanswithout violating the Constitution. He suggests that the president solidified his reputation as a legal and political genius by issuing the Proclamation as Commander-in-Chief, thus taking the property under the pretext of military necessity. Holzer explores how it was only after Lincolns assassination that the Emancipation Proclamation became an acceptable subject for pictorial celebration. Even then, it was the image of the martyr-president as the great emancipator that resonated in public memory while any reference to those African Americans most affected by the Proclamation was stripped away.
This multilayered treatment reveals that the Proclamation remains a singularly brave and bold actbrilliantly calculated to maintain the viability of the Union during wartime, deeply dependent on the enlightened voices of Lincolns contemporaries, and owing a major debt in history to the image-makers who quickly and indelibly preserved it.
AUTHOR BIO: Harold Holzer is the author or coauthor of twenty-three books and 350 articles on the political culture of Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War era. In 2005, he received a Lincoln Prize for his book Lincoln at Cooper Union and performed "Lincoln Seen and Heard" with actor Sam Waterson, broadcast live on television from the White House. He lives in New York, where he is senior vice president for external affairs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.Edna Greene Medford is an associate professor and director of graduate studies in the Department of History at Howard University. She has appeared as a commentator on C-SPANs broadcast of the re-enactment of the Lincoln-Douglas debates as well as on the networks American Presidents Series and other history programs. She is the former director for history of New Yorks African Burial Ground Project.
Frank J. Williams is the author or editor of more than a dozen books, including many works on the subject of Abraham Lincoln, most recently Judging Lincoln. His private library and archive is one of the nations largest and finest Lincoln collections. He was the founding chairman of the Lincoln Forum and has served as president of both the Abraham Lincoln Association and the Lincoln Group of Boston. He is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Rhode Island. [via]

Nestled on the banks of Louisiana's Cane River and founded in 1714 as a French colonial settlement, Natchitoches boasts brick streets, venerable architecture, and a charming ambiance that draw visitors from around the world. Nearby, a magnificent plantation country and the Creole community of Isle Brevelle amplify the area's allure. This stunning gallery of photographs by Phillip Gould, along with edifying articles, documents the varying cultures of the Cane River region, one of the state's oldest and most historically French areas.
The book opens with a look at Natchitoches proper and its breathtaking architectural gems, including stately churches and elegant homes. Gould also captures the life pulsing behind these impressive facades. A blues band performs its monthly gig at Roque's Grocery. A child prepares to be baptized in the Cane River. A young couple celebrates their marriage in high style. Through Gould's lens and an enlightening history by Richard Seale, Natchitoches yesterday and today comes alive.
Accompanied by revealing commentary from Robert DeBlieux, Gould next trains his talented eye on nearby majestic plantations and on the tiny town of Cloutierville, once home to writer Kate Chopin. Finally, the book spotlights the nearby Creole settlement of Isle Brevelle. Harlan Mark Guidry, one of the many descendants of Isle Brevelle now living throughout the United States, narrates the story of this unique cultural treasure.
NATCHITOCHES AND LOUISIANA'S TIMELESS CANE RIVER offers passage through an extraordinary world where people, heritage, and history are inseparably intertwined. Natives and tourists alike will relish the journey. [via]

Notes from the Divided Country: Poemsby Suji Kwock KimISBN 0807128724 (0-8071-2872-4)
Hardcover, Louisiana State Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Notes from the Divided Country: Poems'Book summary:Winner of the 2002 Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets. In her first collection, Suji Kwock Kim confronts a number of very difficult subjects-colonialism, the Korean War, emigration, racism, and love. She considers what a homeland would be for a divided nation and a divided self: what it means to enter language, the body, the family, the community; to be a daughter, sister, lover, citizen, or exile. In settings form New York to San Francisco, from Scotland to Seoul, her poems question "what threads hold / our lives together" in cities and gardens, and battlefields and small towns. Across the no-man's-land between every "you" and "I," her speakers encounter, quarrel with, or honor others, traveling between the living and dead, between horror over the disastrous events of the past and hope for the future. Drawing upon a wide range of voices, styles, and perspectives, Notes from the Divided Country bears witness to the vanishing world. Here is a rare new talent in American poetry, showcased in this dazzling debut. Whatever you meant to love, in meaning to You changed yourself: you are not who you are, Your soul cut moment to moment by a blade Of fresh desire, the ground sown with abandoned skins. And at your inmost circle, what? A core that is Not one. Poor fool, you are divided at the heart, Lost in its maze of chambers, blood, and love, A heart that will one day beat you to death.
-from "Monologue for an Onion" [via]

The biography traces Hart's life from childhood in Jacksonville, where his father was one of the largest slaveholders in the state, which led to him being an ardent advocate for civil rights, through his service as a volunteer soldier in the Second Seminole War, his education in South Carolina, and the dawn of his legal and political career on Florida's Atlantic frontier, to his election as governor in 1872 and his premature death sixteen months later.

Slavery And American Economic Developmentby Gavin WrightISBN 0807131830 (0-8071-3183-0)
Hardcover, Louisiana State Univ Pr

› Find signed collectible books: 'Slavery And American Economic Development'Book summary:Through an original analysis of slavery as an economic institution, Gavin Wright presents a fresh look at the economic divergence between North and South in the antebellum era. Wright draws a distinction between slavery as a form of work organization (the aspect that has dominated historical debates) and slavery as a set of property rights. Slaves could be purchased and carried to any location where slavery was legal; they could be assigned to any task regardless of gender or age; the could be punished for disobedience, with no effective recourse to the law; they could be accumulated as a form of wealth; they could be sold or bequeathed. Wright argues that slave-based commerce was central to the eighteenth-century rise of the Atlantic economy, not because slave plantations were superior as a method of organizing production, but because slaves could be put to work on sugar plantations that could not have attracted free labor on economically viable terms. On the mainland, Wright suggests that the decisive steps in regional divergence came with the abolition of slavery in the northern states and the exclusion of slavery from the Northwest Territory, measures whose economic impact has been underappreciated. He portrays the seventy years between the Constitution and southern secession as an economic cold war between two fundamentally different systems of property rights. Paradoxically, both sides had reason to claim victory in this contest, if each were allowed to use an economic scoreboard appropriate to its property-rights regime. Rather than seeing the slave South as a flourishing economy that subsequently declined, Wright maintains that the roots of postbellum backwardness were evident in the antebellum era. Startling, insightful, rigorously argued yet accessible to a broad readership, Slavery and American Economic Development is certain to become a classic. AUTHOR BIO: Gavin Wright is William Robertson Coe Professor in American Economic History at Stanford University and the author of The Political Economy of the Cotton South and Old South, New South: Revolutions in the Southern Economy Since the Civil War, winner of the Frank L. and Harriet C. Owsley Award of the Southern Historical Association. He is a past president of the Economic History Association and the Agricultural History Society. [via]

An Unnatural Metropolis: Wresting New Orleans from Natureby Craig E. ColtenISBN 0807129771 (0-8071-2977-1)
Hardcover, Louisiana State University Press
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'An Unnatural Metropolis: Wresting New Orleans from Nature'Book summary:"An Unnatural Metropolis" offers an in-depth look at a city and society uniquely shaped by the natural forces it has sought to harness. Strategically situated at the gateway to the Mississippi River yet standing atop a former swamp, New Orleans was from the first what geographer Peirce Lewis called an "impossible but inevitable city." How New Orleans came to be, taking shape between the mutual and often contradictory forces of nature and urban development, is the subject of "An Unnatural Metropolis." Though all cities must contend with their physical settings, Craig E. Colten demonstrates that New Orleans may be the city most dependent on human-induced transformations of its precarious site. Colten traces engineered modifications to New Orleans's natural environment from 1800 to 2000. Before the city could swell in size and commercial importance as its nineteenth-century boosters envisioned, builders had to wrest it from its waterlogged site, protect it from floods, expel disease, and supply basic services using local resources. Colten shows how every manipulation of the environment made an impact on the city's social geography as well-often with unequal, adverse consequences for minorities-and how each still requires maintenance and improvement today. For example, while the massive levee system has controlled the unpredictable Mississippi, it also captures heavy downpours, creating a new set of internal flood problems. Recent federal regulations and environmental activism have converted the river from a sewage carrier to a protected water supply, reclassified garbage dumps as hazardous waste sites, and attempted to restore some of the city's swamps-but with difficult social and political adjustments.
