The Promise of the New South
At a public picnic in the South in the 1890s, a young man paid five cents for his first chance to hear the revolutionary Edison talking machine. He eagerly listened as the soundman placed the needle down, only to find that through the tubes he held to his ears came the chilling sounds of a lynching. In this story, with its blend of new technology and old hatreds, genteel picnics and mob violence, Edward Ayers captures the history of the South in the years between Reconstruction and the turn of the century. Ranging from the Georgia coast to the Tennessee mountains, from the power brokers to tenant farmers, Ayers depicts a land of startling contrasts. Ayers takes us from remote Southern towns,...

The Letter, A Letter To A Family Member During The 2016 Political Season
""The Letter"" was written during the 2016-2017 Political Season, and was originally designed to explain complex societal issues to a family member who planned to vote for the first time. After the election, the personally designed letter was turned into a book format in order to share historical and political information with American readers who wish to learn more about this great nation we call home. Post election writings, originally presented as online blogs, such as: ""I'm Waiting,"" ""Isn't It Ironic,"" and ""The Irony of It All"" were added to further explain some of the complex issues currently facing the nation. Finally, ""A Call To Action,"" was added to share historical information about activists, such as Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King, Jr. who greatly influenced the world with their peaceful protest movements. The final writing also presents readers with ideas designed to effectively impact situations in the modern world.

Suffering in the Army of Tennessee
Winner of the 2022 Douglas Southall Freeman Award! Confederate historiography of the Civil War is rich with stories of leaders and decision makers—oft-repeated names immortalized by their association with America’s great trial of the 1860s. But while scholarship exploring the roles of Confederate generals and politicians abounds, a major part of the story remains untold: that of the ordinary people who became soldiers and turned the very pages of Civil War history. Part of the Voices of the Civil War series, Suffering in the Army of Tennessee doesn’t just draw upon one single diary or letter collection, and it does not use brief quotations as a way to fill out a larger narrative. Rathe...
