From Library Journal
Like the Civil War itself, Reconstruction still shapes America's social and racial fabric, and historians continue to debate the significance of this tragic time. The public conception of the postwar period remains colored by such films as Birth of a Nation and Gone with the Wind. Richter (ABC-Clio Companion to Transportation in America, 1995) gives us an excellent literature guide and dictionary to this period. The work opens with a historiographical essay covering changes in scholars' understanding of Reconstruction, starting with late 19th- and early 20th-century thought through recent work. Next follows a detailed dictionary of important people, events, institutions, and legislation that shaped the period. Some entries run only a paragraph, while others run several pages and cover the range of historical thought on the topic. The work concludes with a chronology of the period and a detailed subject index. This well-prepared book complements Hans Louis Trefousse's Historical Dictionary of Reconstruction (LJ 9/1/91) and will interest scholars and especially undergraduate and graduate students. Highly recommended for all academic libraries.?Stephen L. Hupp, Univ. of Pittsburgh at Johnstown Lib.
