Reviews
"This valuable work finally puts to rest the notion that the Confederacy was an intellectual wasteland and that Confederates had nothing to say aside from their rebel yell."--Journal of American History
"Provides meaningful insight into an understudied aspect of the Confederate experience. . . . An excellent book that deserves wide readership."--Civil War Book Review
“A remarkable array of evidence.”--Journal of Southern History
"Highly recommended."--Choice
"[Confederate Minds] is well written, amply researched and tightly argued. For those interested in the attempted development of a distinct Confederate culture, this book is a welcome contribution."--Civil War News
"A solid first book. . . . His discussion of how the Confederacy's intellectual class lamented their lack of original contributions is superb."--Virginia Magazine
