William Henry Jackson, Carleton Watkins, and Ansel Adams are the best known, but now Ren and Helen Davis finally give George Grant the attention he so richly deserves. Millions of people have seen his work without knowing his name or his story. The centennial of the National Park Service serves as good reason to rectify that.”—Dayton Duncan, producer of The National Parks: America’s Best Idea “For more than two decades, George A. Grant traveled throughout this land, producing superb images of America’s most iconic scenery and historic sites, including those of the ancient past. Although little known to the public, Grant belongs in the pantheon of this country’s great landscape photographers, such as William Henry Jackson and Ansel Adams. This is Grant’s first full biography, with a gallery of his photographs—for enjoyment by your fireside or in the classroom.” —Richard West Sellars, author of Preserving Nature in the National Parks: A History 1 | www.ugapress.org | price listed includes 30% discount new in history let us now praise famous gullies Providence Canyon and the Soils of the South Paul S. Sutter hardcover, $24.47 978-0-8203-3401-1 The ‘Little Grand Canyon’ and its lessons for environmental history “Paul Sutter finds in these thousand acres of backwoods Georgia a powerful and complicated story of humans on the land. He is a wonderful storyteller, but more, he digs deeply into the past to explain how and why this place became both a ‘park’ and a ‘horrible example’ of soil erosion. This is one of the finest local environmental histories we have, and it offers important insights for all of us today.”—Donald Worster, author of A Passion for Nature: The Life of John Muir “In this sweeping and powerful environmental study, Paul Sutter uses Georgia’s Providence Canyon both as a cautionary tale of erosion and the opportunity to explore soil science, geology, southern farming practices, misguided experts, and boosters’ fantasies of marketing the mammoth gulley as a lesser Grand Canyon.”—Pete Daniel, author of Toxic Drift: Pesticides and Health in the Post– World War II South history | 2 new in history southern tufts The Regional Origins and National Craze for Chenille Fashion Ashley Callahan Foreword by Madelyn Shaw hardcover, $27.97 978-0-8203-4516-1 Peacock kimonos, shrimp capes, and Roy Rogers robes—southern tufted garments on the national fashion scene “Callahan’s handling of this material is masterful. She braids the different threads of gender, race, class, business, and regional culture into one integrated narrative and, in the process, thoroughly contextualizes the objects and their origin and production. Southern Tufts emerges as the definitive study on this genre.”—Dale Couch, curator of decorative arts, Georgia Museum of Art “Callahan has brought us an engaging, little-known part of American textile history. This profusely illustrated book will have us all longing again for the comfort of a chenille robe.” —Philis Alvic, author of Weavers of the Southern Highlands “Southern Tufts is appealing on many levels. Callahan blends the folksy topic of chenille and roadside America with the Colonial Revival to create a real contribution to textile history.” —Pamela A.

Deal, Jennifer W. Dickey, and Catherine M. Lewis hardcover, $27.97 978-0-8203-4859-9 All homes have a story to tell, and the Georgia Governor’s Mansion is no exception “In this meticulously researched history of Georgia’s executive mansion, the authors wonderfully illuminate the intertwining stories of its caretakers, the state’s first families, and the people of Georgia. Surely, it will become a model of its kind.”—Jamil Zainaldin, President, Georgia Humanities Council “This book engages readers in a way that helps them experience fifty years of Georgia political personalities as they promoted our state on the magnificent set that is our Governor’s Mansion. More than that, despite the first families’ disparate backgrounds, politics, and personalities, this book highlights the connection of common awe and responsibility they all have felt while performing their roles in the fishbowl of the Governor’s Mansion.”—Sheffield Hale, President and CEO, Atlanta History Center history | 4 new in history weaving alliances with other women Chitimacha Indian Work in the New South Daniel H. Usner paper, $17.47 | 978-0-8203-4849-0 ebook available Friendships that broke down barriers between Native American and Anglo American women River-cane baskets woven by the Chitimachas of south Louisiana are universally admired for their beauty and workmanship. Recounting friendships that Chitimacha weaver Christine Paul (1874–1946) sustained with two non-Native women at different parts of her life, this book offers a rare vantage point into the lives of American Indians in the segregated South. Mary Bradford (1869–1954) and Caroline Dormon (1888–1971) were not only friends of Christine Paul; they were also patrons who helped connect Paul and other Chitimacha weavers with buyers for their work. Daniel H. Usner uses Paul’s letters to Bradford and Dormon to reveal how Indian women, as mediators between their own communities and surrounding outsiders, often drew on accumulated authority and experience in multicultural negotiation to forge new relationships with non-Indian women. 5 | www.ugapress.org | price listed includes 30% discount new in history privateers of the americas Spanish American Privateering from the United States in the Early Republic David Head paper, $17.47 | 978-0-8203-4864-3 ebook available The lucrative, extralegal business of privateering as a window into the Atlantic World Privateers of the Americas examines raids on Spanish shipping conducted from the United States during the early 1800s. These activities were sanctioned by, and conducted on behalf of, republics in Spanish America aspiring to independence from Spain. Among the available histories of privateering, there is no comparable work. Because privateering further complicated international dealings during the already tumultuous Age of Revolution, the book also offers a new perspective on the diplomatic and Atlantic history of the early American republic. Seafarers living in the United States secured commissions from Spanish American nations, attacked Spanish vessels, and returned to sell their captured cargoes (which sometimes included slaves) from bases in Baltimore, New Orleans, and Galveston and on Amelia Island. Privateers sold millions of dollars of goods to untold numbers of ordinary Americans. Their collective enterprise involved more than a hundred vessels and thousands of people—not only ships’ crews but investors, merchants, suppliers, and others. They angered foreign diplomats, worried American officials, and muddied U.S. foreign relations. history | 6 new in history gender and the jubilee Black Freedom and the Reconstruction of Citizenship in Civil War Missouri Sharon Romeo hardcover, $41.97 978-0-8203-4801-8 ebook available How the civil rights activism of African American women shaped the story of the wartime collapse of slavery “This is a landmark book. Rather than simply resulting from the work of lawmakers who ratified the Fourteenth Amendment during Reconstruction, the concept of ‘citizenship’ emerged out of the innumerable actions carried out by African Americans in the slaveholding states during the Civil War. Romeo shows that in war-torn Missouri, black women petitioned Union officers for their freedom, filed lawsuits against their former owners in military courts, and claimed widows’ pensions after the deaths of their veteran husbands. By documenting black women’s activism in a state where the Emancipation Proclamation did not even apply, Romeo forces us to reexamine precisely how and why constitutional and legal change occurred during this period.” —Timothy Huebner, Irma O.

Ze Winters argues that the concubine figure’s manifestation as both historical subject and African diasporic goddess indicates her centrality to understanding how free and enslaved black subjects performed gender, theorized race and freedom, and produced their own diasporic identities. finding charity’s folk Enslaved and Free Black Women in Maryland Jessica Millward paper, $17.47 978-0-8203-4878-0 ebook available “Digging deeply into the county court records of Maryland, the author presents a remarkable picture of how some enslaved women, including Charity Folks, acquired their freedom. In doing so, she broadens our perspective on female slaves, African American family relationships, and free blacks. Thoroughly versed in a broad literature, she authoritatively discusses a wide range of related topics, including interracial sex, violence, rape, and the relationship between enslaved women’s bodies, freedom suits, and manumission laws.”—Loren Schweninger, Elizabeth Rosenthal Professor Emeritus of History, University of North Carolina, Greensboro history | 8 history lens of war Exploring Iconic Photographs of the Civil War Edited by J.

Behrend shows how freedpeople set up a political system rooted in egalitarian values wherein local communities rather than powerful individuals held power and ordinary people exercised unprecedented influence in governance. In so doing, he invites us to reconsider not only our understanding of Reconstruction but also the nature and origins of democracy more broadly. establishment of national parties when the framers could have successfully met together in convention may have been a relatively narrow historical window. 15 | www.ugapress.org | price listed includes 30% discount award winners in history slavery and freedom in savannah Edited by Leslie M.

The collection features women with well-known names as well as those whose lives and work deserve greater attention. The second volume of Tennessee Women: Their Lives and Times contains sixteen essays on Tennessee women in the forefront of the political, economic, and cultural history of the state and assesses the national and sometimes international scope of their influence. Volume 2 looks at antebellum issues of gender, race, and class; the impact of the Civil War on women’s lives; parades and public celebrations as venues for displaying and challenging gender ideals; female activism on racial and gender issues; the impact of state legislation on marital rights; and the place of women in particular religious organizations.

Some essays examine the lives of well-known women—such as First Lady Dolley Madison—from a new perspective. Others introduce readers to relatively obscure historical figures: the convicted witch Grace Sherwood; the colonial printer Clementina Rind; Harriet Hemings, the enslaved daughter of Thomas Jefferson. Essays on the frontier heroine Mary Draper Ingles and the Civil War spy Elizabeth Van Lew examine the real women behind the legends. Altogether, the essays in this collection offer readers an engaging and personal window onto the experiences of women in the Old Dominion. This is the second of two volumes that together explore the diverse and changing patterns of North Carolina women’s lives. These women included Gertrude Weil who fought tirelessly for the Nineteenth Amendment and founded the state chapter of the League of Women Voters once the amendment was ratified in 1920. Guion Griffis Johnson turned to volunteer work in the postwar years, becoming one of the state’s most prominent female civic leaders. Susie Sharp in 1949 became the first woman judge in North Carolina and in 1974 the first woman in the nation to be elected and serve as chief justice of a state supreme court. Throughout her life, the Reverend Dr. Anna Pauline “Pauli” Murray charted a religious, literary, and political path to racial reconciliation on both a national stage and in North Carolina.
