Abstract

Richard Nelson Current is University Distinguished Professor of History, Emeritus, at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, former president of the Southern Historical Association, and author of numerous books covering the Civil War and Reconstruction. In this ironically titled work, Current presents the period from 1865 to 1881 through an examination of the careers of ten carpetbaggers, men who featured prominently in the reconstruction of Louisiana, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, the Carolinas, and Arkansas. By focusing on these individuals, Current hopes to reveal "the human beings hidden behind the [carpetbagger] stereotype."
