Bøker av Walter L. Fleming

The Civil War and Reconstruction in Alabama was originally published in 1906 by Walter Lynwood Fleming. This was of the first of many state-specific histories of the Reconstruction period published by the famous "Dunning School" of historians educated under William A. Dunning at Columbia and focused on the collection and analysis of primary sources. Fleming is particularly focused on the perspectives and motivations of the actors in this drama, and on the character of the setting, and his history is outstanding for capturing the passionate spirit of a disorderly and uncertain time. This book has been re-published from the original text by Tall Men Press. It is not a facsimile reprint.

The Sequel of Appomattox: A Chronicle of the Reunion of the States by Fleming, a classical and rare book that has been considered essential throughout human history, so that this work is never forgotten, we at Alpha Editions have made efforts in its preservation by republishing this book in a modern format for present and future generations. This whole book has been reformatted, retyped and designed. These books are not made of scanned copies of their original work and hence the text is clear and readable.

The Freedmen's Savings Bank was set up in 1865. It grew rapidly and established branches throughout the US South. It later failed because of dishonesty and incompetence. Fleming traces the bank's origin, growth, decline, and failure, and he indicates its effects on the black population. Originally published in 1927, this is a UNC Press Enduring Edition.
