from Houghton Mifflin
Price: $19.80

Customer Review:
This is the first history, to the best of my knowledge which addresses the careers of the first African American congressmen who attempted to fulfill the notion of post civil war democracy and equality as embodied by the 13th 14th and 15th Amendments. It is a study that is long overdue.

from Belknap Press
Price: $9.78

Customer Review:
Though I am skeptical about most 'history,' this book was written by a man who felt oppression and fought it. This book as well Douglass' other writing should be the primary source on slavery and the civil war.
This book, as well as its excellent forward, serves to warn that slavery could... more info

from Simon & Schuster
Price: $11.56

Customer Review:
I would like to rate this book on two fronts; first, for the select few who work for a railroad (especially Union Pacific) and secondly, for the general public.
I am a current employee of the Union Pacific in the Public Affairs department. In my daily dealings, I am frequently asked about why... more info

from Belknap Press
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Loved this book. Well researched. I was aware of most of the facts regarding the conspiracy to steal Lincoln's body, yet Mr. Craughwell introduced many more trivia of the whole story which I found fascinating.
Good Read.

from Library of America
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:
Well written history is a rare treat, and rarer still is a history by one who lived through it. Grant writes engagingly and humorously and with great humility for a man who achieved so much. That he wrote this in the throes of cancer, finishing it on death's door and yet has no sence of savig... more info

from Harper
Price: $25.51

Customer Review:
I have to say I found this to be an overwrought and rather disjointed history of mid-19th century America. There is a part of me that thinks Mr. McDougal bit off more than he can chew. The book seems to offer the illusion of a much deeper work but in fact is really just a reheat of previously... more info

This is a condensed version of Foner's longer on Reconstruction, the period which followed the Civil War, during which America and the South struggled to to re-define their world with slavery ended.
