For the men and women who lived it, Reconstruction was not an abstraction but an experiment in hope, in justice, in the very best of American principles. Generous, capacious, fresh and wide-ranging, this volume is indispensable for understanding the myriad voices of the nation. And it's hard to put down. -- BRENDA WINEAPPLE author of Ecstatic Nation: Confidence, Crisis, and Compromise, 1848-1877 Our most fiercely fought conflict over racial equality was not the Civil War--it was Reconstruction. This momentous and bloody period, highly pertinent to the present, is still far too obscure. Library of America has taken a major step toward correcting that with this superbly well-chosen collection. -- NICHOLAS LEMANN author of Redemption: The Last Battle of the Civil War This is where modern America was made, and the diverse voices represented here capture the era in all its complexity and tragedy. -- AARON SHEEHAN-DEAN author of Why Confederates Fought: Family and Nation in Civil War Virginia
