In My Father's House Are Many Mansions

Family and Community in Edgefield, South Carolina

By: Orville Vernon Burton

Burton traces the evolution of Edgefield County from the antebellum period through Reconstruction and beyond. From amassed information on every household in this large rural community, he tests the many generalizations about southern black and white families of this period and finds that they were strikingly similar. Wealth, rather than race or class, was the main factor that influenced family structure, and the matriarchal family was but a myth.

The Age of Lincoln

A History

By: Orville Vernon Burton

Stunning in its breadth and conclusions, The Age of Lincoln is a fiercely original history of the five decades that pivoted around the presidency of Abraham Lincoln. Abolishing slavery, the age's most extraordinary accomplishment, was not its most profound. The enduring legacy of the age of Lincoln was inscribing personal liberty into the nation's millennial aspirations. America has always perceived providence in its progress, but in the 1840s and 1850s pessimism accompanied marked extremism, as Millerites predicted the Second Coming, utopianists planned perfection, Southerners made slavery an inviolable honor, and Northerners conflated Manifest Destiny with free-market opportunity. Even amid historic political compromises the middle ground collapsed. In a remarkable reappraisal of Lincoln, the distinguished historian Orville Vernon Burton shows how the president's authentic Southernness empowered him to conduct a civil war that redefined freedom as a personal right to be expanded to all Americans. In the violent decades to follow, the extent of that freedom would be contested but not its central place in what defined the country. Presenting a fresh conceptualization of the defining decades of modern America, The Age of Lincoln is narrative history of the highest order.

Utopia

Heaven Or Hell?

By: Orville H. Schmidt

Ever since Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden, writers and reformers have been inspired to create fictional or experimental utopias. The former may be serious as was Plato’s Republic or satires as Erewhon by Samuel Butler. The latter may be one-man utopias such as Thoreau at Walden Pond or continental reverse utopias (dystopias) such as the former Soviet Union. Utopias may stress technology as did the New Atlantis of Francis Bacon or resist technology as did the Islandia of Austin T. Wright. They may be sexually promiscuous as was the Brave New World of Huxley or extremely puritanical as were the Shaker communities. While they may appear frivolous they represent man’s desire to “dream the impossible dream.” They can show us the flaws in our present socioeconomic system and point to more prosperous and just systems in the future. They may, in the words of Lewis Mumford, be utopias of escape or utopias of reconstruction. In any case, fasten your seat belts and enjoy the trip of your life!

Negro Slavery in Arkansas

Negro Slavery in Arkansas

By: Orville Taylor

Long out of print and found only in rare-book stores, it is now available to a contemporary audience with this new paperback edition. When slavery was abolished by the Emancipation Proclamation, there were slaves in every county of the state, and almost half the population was directly involved in slavery as either a slave, a slaveowner, or a member of an owner’s family. Orville Taylor traces the growth of slavery from John Law’s colony in the early eighteenth century through the French and Spanish colonial period, territorial and statehood days, to the beginning of the Civil War. He describes the various facets of the institution, including the slave trade, work and overseers, health and medical treatment, food, clothing, housing, marriage, discipline, and free blacks and manumission. While drawing on unpublished material as appropriate, the book is, to a great extent, based on original, often previously unpublished, sources. Valuable to libraries, historians in several areas of concentration, and the general reader, it gives due recognition to the signficant place slavery occupied in the life and economy of antebellum Arkansas.
