Book Description

Excerpt from Reconstruction in Georgia: Economic, Social, Political; 1865-1872 The material for this monograph would never have been collected had it not been for the kind assistance of many friends in Georgia. In Atlanta, Miss Sallie Eugenia Brown and Mrs. V. P. Sisson put at my disposal their interesting and valuable papers, and Mr. Clark Howell of the Atlanta Constitution helped materially in giving me access to newspaper files. Mrs. Maud Barker Cobb, Miss Dailey, and Miss Thornton of the Georgia State Library, have been untiring in their services. In Savan nah, I am indebted to Mr. William Harden of the Georgia Historical Society Library, and especially to Mr. Wym berly Jones derenne of Wormsloe for his generous hos pitality in allowing me to use his unique and extensive collection of material pertaining to the history of Geor gia. I am under obligations to Professor Robert Pres ton Brooks oi the University of Georgia for helpful sug gestions, and to Professor Ulrich B. Phillips of the University of Michigan, who put at my disposal copies of valuable letters. To my colleague and friend, Professor Eloise Ellery of Vassar College, I am indebted for help in the'joyless task of proof-reading. Without the con stant encouragement and helpful criticism of my teacher, colleague and friend, Professor Lucy M. Salmon of Vassar College, this labor would not have come to completion.
