Description
Ted Tunnell's superbly researched biography of Marshall H. Twitchell is a major addition to Reconstruction literature. This first full-length study of Twitchell is edifying, entertaining, and cutting-edge scholarship.
"Tunnell has succeeded brilliantly in crafting one of the great stories of Reconstruction," - Journal of Southern History; "A superb biography... an extraordinary story.... Tunnell skillfully re-creates the dramatic events that make Twitchell's life so compelling." - Journal of American History; "The legend of the carpetbaggers as corrupt, rapacious, opportunistic blood-suckers who ran roughshod over a prostrate South retains a firm grip on the public mind.... Tunnell convincingly shows that the carpetbaggers' real story is more complicated." - Georgia Historical Quarterly"
Ted Tunnell, a professor of history at Virginia Commonwealth University, is the editor of Carpetbagger from Vermont: The Autobiography of Marshall Harvey Twitchell and the author of Crucible of Reconstruction, War, Radicalism, and Race in Louisiana, 1862- 1877.
