I'm Such Damned Dweeb
Books Santa brought me:
Zeb Vance: North Carolina's Civil War Governor and Gilded Age Political Leader, by Gordon McKinney, UNC Press, 2004.
Mothers of Invention: Women of the Slaveholding South in the American Civil War, by Drew Gilpin Faust, UNC Press, 1996 (now I can take the copy back to the library I've had checked out for five months)
Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory, by David Blight, Harvard University Press, 2001.
UNC Press does nice books but their web site sucks big time.
What I'm Reading:
Cities of the Dead: Contesting the Memory of the Civil War in the South, 1865-1914, by William Blair, UNC Press, 2004. (I have to review this one)
I went to a local used book store the other day, and this is what I bought:
Major Problems in Civil War and Reconstruction, edited by Michael Perman, D.C. Heath and Co., 1991.
North Carolina Experience: An Interpretive and Documentary History, edited by Lindley Butler and Alan Watson, UNC Press, 1984.
They were only $4.95 each! I'm not a hopeless history dweeb, just a frugal shopper.
I also got a stack of North Carolina Historical Reviews for only $1 each.
Humor Corner:
Q: What did the fish say when it swam into a wall?
A: Dam!
Link O'the Day:
"I just want to make sure this series of numbers doesn't go down the memory hole like everything else the Bush Campaignistration gets wrong."
