Excited to receive this new title from @uvapress.bsky.social by Nelson Lankford. With so little written about postwar Richmond, this is a much anticipated work by this well-known scholar. I'm currently gathering materials for a project involving Richmond in 1870, so I can't want to dive into this.

Restocking
I like to hand these out at talks because it contains the best battle accounts no one has ever heard of before ... as well as mentions of 19th Century civil service reform and the Readjuster movement.

The paperback version from @uvapress.bsky.social
came out recently.
