"Who Your People Are"
Scholars of "the South" may be interested in "Who Your People Are" a blog post on the complex genology of many a Southern gentleman, by David Nichols, originally published by our colleagues at H-AmIndian, where David is blog editor and author of The Turtle Island Examiner blog.
1-volume History of the American South
Please pardon if this has been a recent discussion. I am teaching a 1-semester, History of the American South class in the Spring, which I have not done in several years. Can anyone recommend a single-volume history of the American South as a course textbook? I have several older single-volumes, but these are now out of print.
Any suggestions will be gratefully appreciated!
