Book Review

North Carolinians in the Era of the Civil War and Reconstruction. Ed. by Paul D. Escott. (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2008. 307 pp. Cloth, $49.95, ISBN 978-0-8078-3222-6. Paper, $22.50, ISBN 978-0-8078-5901-8.)

Some historians familiar with the scholarship on North Carolina during the Civil War era might question the need for a new book on the subject, since excellent recent studies have explored many aspects of that period. Yet even skeptics will be pleasantly surprised by how these articles advance our knowledge. They not only present stimulating new work, but they also hang together well. Revealing of class, race, and politics, the essays also add to our understanding of gender and memory in nineteenth-century North Carolina.
