The Journal of Economic History
...students of both southern history and the Civil War will find this volume to be a valuable source of references and a useful guide to agricultural aspects of those fields of study.
—Maryland Historical Magazine
Otto's book is a sound and dispassionate account. The book is a notable addition to economic and agricultural history. It is especially valuable for students of the rural South.
—The Historian
...an excellent introduction for researchers coming to the subject for the first time.
—The Journal of Southern History

Description: This is the first book to assess the contribution of Southern agriculture to the Confederate war effort, to describe the damage that agriculture sustained during the war, to analyze the transition from slavery to free labor after the war, and to recount the slow and painful process of rebuilding Southern agriculture by 1880. Synthesizing primary and secondary historical sources, Southern Agriculture During the Civil War Era, 1860-1880 fills a crucial gap in our knowledge about the history of the Civil War and Reconstruction period.
