Commendation Quotes: At a time when one could ask, fairly, what is left to say about Civil War memory, Thomas J. Brown offers us a fresh and revealing analysis. Lost Cause scholarship often approaches the subject with an emphasis on a particular context--politics, or gender studies, or economic change. Brown threads these disparate approaches together and moves the study of Confederate memory all the way through the twentieth century, something few historians can claim. Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.; In this history of South Carolina's commemoration of the Civil War era, Thomas Brown uses the lens of place to examine the ways that landmarks of Confederate memory have helped white southerners negotiate their shifting political, social, and economic positions. By looking at prominent sites such as Fort Sumter, Charleston's Magnolia Cemetery, and the South Carolina statehouse, Brown reveals a dynamic pattern of contestation and change. Contributor Bio:  Brown, Thomas J Thomas J. Brown is associate professor of history at the University of South Carolina.
