{"product_id":"south-to-posterity","title":"South to Posterity","description":"After the publication of Margaret Mitchell's \u003ci\u003eGone with the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e, many Confederate historians were asked, \"\"What shall I read next?\"\" To answer the requests for further writings on the Civil War era, distinguished historian Douglas Southall Freeman assembled this bibliography of the best narratives, memoirs, and other works- those that tell their stories simply, with wit and realism- that provide a good introduction to literature on the Lost Cause. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn contrast to most bibliographies, \u003ci\u003eThe South to Posterity\u003c\/i\u003e reads easily and often movingly. In eight masterful chapters, Freeman reviews soldiers' battlefield accounts; vindications penned just after the war; biographies of and tributes to General Robert E. Lee; women's commentaries; thoughts from foreign observers and participants; and diaries, letters, and speeches. Finally, he discusses topics yet to be addressed. A new introduction by Civil War historian Gary W. Gallagher provides an excellent background to Freeman's life and work and considers what has been accomplished in the field since the book first appeared.","brand":"Louisiana State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55807348310360,"sku":"9780807123164","price":28.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/south-to-posterity","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
