Lorri Glover. Southern Sons: Becoming Men in the New Nation. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. 2007. Pp. x, 250. $50.00.

Lorri Glover's new book explores the ways in which those young men of the southern white elite who came of age in the generation following the American Revolution became simultaneously Americans, southerners, and men. Glover illuminates the "process, a series of tests [really,] that these boys faced" (p. 3) on the way to mature southern republicanism and national citizenship. This process by which adolescent white males became men between the 1790s and the 1820s is outlined in several copiously documented chapters that consider the regionally inflected cultural values that distinguished the young men's upbringing from that of their northern contemporaries.
