• Endorsement From Eric Foner
  DeWitt Clinton Professor of History
  Columbia University: It is indeed a daunting achievement not simply to compile this extensive listing of scholarly writings on Reconstruction, including selected scholarship on fiction, but to offer the prospective researcher a well-considered introduction to each and every item selected except for dissertations. Because of the range of subjects covered from national and local politics to law, economics, religion, education, gender relations, violence, and numerous other aspects of the period and the extremely valuable brief comments on each entry, Reconstruction in the United States will undoubtably prove indispensable to scholars for many years to come.
• Endorsement From John David Smith
  Professor of History
  North Carolina State University: I am tremendously impressed by David Lincove's monumental Reconstruction bibliography. The coverage of the scholarly literature is outstanding. The annotations are thorough, accurate, and to the point. This is the bibliographical tool on Reconstruction that librarians, students, and historians have been waiting for. It is destined to be the definitive study.
