Epilogue
Edward L. Ayers is President and Professor of History at the University of Richmond. He was named National Professor of the Year in 2003 and is a Bancroft and the Beveridge Prize winner.
"Here, at last, is a subtle, compelling view of the late
19th-century South whose scholarship is up-to-date....In a
synthesis that captures the late 19th-century South in its
bewildering complexity, Ayers does get the New South
right."--Washington Post Book World
"The most ambitious, comprehensive, and original survey of
post-Reconstruction Southern history to appear since Woodward's
Origins.... Ayers's book deepens and enriches our sense of the
diversity and complexity of southern life."--George M. Fredrickson,
The New York Review of Books
