The American Frontier: Pioneers, Settlers And Cowboys 1800-1899. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 1999. Softcover. Brand new book. In The American Frontier, historian William C. Davis masterfully chronicles the history of the territory beyond the Mississippi, with particular attention to exploration, expansion, conflict, and settlement. The first bold steps of Lewis and Clark in 1804 inspired the emergence of a nation in a momentous century of migration and settlement. During the next few decades, while Texas and California fought to be free of Mexican rule, the slow spread westward began: the Mormons in Utah, the '49ers in California, and the development of stage routes, railways, and other overland trails. With the end of the Civil War, in 1865, people of all nations and tongues sped to the West - the pioneers, trappers, entrepreneurs, buffalo hunters, miners, soldiers, gamblers, cowboys, lawmen, gunfighters. ¶ 256 pages.

The Barber Of Natchez. Louisiana State University Press, Baton Rouge and London: 2009. Softcover. Brand new book. In The Barber of Natchez, Edwin Adams Davis and William Ransom Hogan tell the remarkable story of William Johnson, a slave who rose to freedom, business success, and high community standing in the heart of the South: all before 1850. Emancipated as a young boy in 1820, Johnson became a barber's apprentice and later opened several profitable barber shops of his own. As his wealth grew, he expanded into real estate and acquired large tracts of nearby farm and timber land. The authors explore in detail Johnson's family, work, and social life, including his friendships with people of both races. They also examine his wanton murder and the resulting trial of the man accused of shooting him. More than the story of one individual, the narrative also offers compelling insight into the southern code of honor, the apprentice system, and the ownership of slaves by free blacks. A new introduction by Ira Berlin explores the historical impact of The Barber of Natchez since its original publication in 1954 and analyzes its relevance today. Based on Johnson's two-thousand-page diary, letters, and business records, this extraordinary biography reveals the complicated life of a freedman in Mississippi and a new perspective on antebellum Natchez. A rare type of record of considerable historical and human interest. . . . The public will find in The Barber of Natchez a human being of unusual type, treated with compassion and understanding.: Journal of Southern History An absorbing tale [that] makes a distinct contribution to the social and economic history of the Old South. . . . The book is clearly written, well organized, and thoroughly informative.: Southwestern Social Science Quarterly A fascinating and well-written study of an unusual free Negro in an unusual Mississippi city. The work of the authors in editing the diary is excellent in every respect.: North Carolina Historical Review. Edwin Adams Davis was the head of the Louisiana State University Department of Archives. He graduated from Kansas State Teachers College and received his advanced degrees at the State University of Iowa and LSU. William Ransom Hogan was head of the Department of Archives at LSU and also served as chairman of the history department at Tulane University. He is the author of The Texas Republic: A Social and Economic History. Ira Berlin is the author of Many Thousands Gone: The First Two Centuries of Slavery in North America and Generations of Captivity: A History of African-American Slaves, winner of the Albert Beveridge Prize, among other works. He is Distinguished University Professor in the department of history at the University of Maryland. ¶ 296 pages.

The Battlefields Of The Civil War. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 1996. Softcover. Brand new book. The Battlefields of the Civil War tells the stories of thirteen of the most important battles, including First Manassas, Shiloh, Antietam, Vicksburg, Gettysburg, and the Wilderness. William C. Davis not only describes the events and outcomes of those great engagements, but also delves into the characters of the army commanders, revealing in many cases just how much their personalities influenced the actions of their subordinates - and ultimately the outcome of the battles themselves. Rounding out the narrative are 35 full-page color photograph spreads of Civil War artifacts (including flags, uniforms, artillery projectiles, and arms), 28 color paintings of soldiers in various regiment uniforms, and 166 historical photographs. ¶ 256 pages.

The Civil War - Death In The Trenches: Grand At Petersburg. Time-Life Books, Alexandria: 1986. Hardcover, no dustjacket. Very good condition. Bringing Lee's Army To Bay. In June 1864, two years after General George B. McClellan's failed Peninsular Campaign, the Army of the Potomac, now led by General George C. Meade and the commander in chief, Ulysses S. Grant, had again fought its way to the outskirts of Richmond. Grant had suffered terrible losses trying to flank General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia in the Wilderness, at Spotsylvania and at Cold Harbor; now he embarked on a bold maneuver, shifting his line of operations south of the James River and attacking Petersburg, the vital rail center 23 miles below Richmond. Lee had no choice but to follow. The Confederates had ringed Petersburg with fortifications, forcing the Federals to dig in as well. Thus began 10 months of grueling trench warfare. In this highly illustrated volume, this period of the United States Civil War is described in detail. ¶ 176 pages.
