Editorial Reviews

Review

“Editor Daniel Weinfeld has collected 23 of these little-known recollections. They represent a rare, first-person account of life in the Reconstruction South from the African-American perspective. A superb introduction by Dawn J. Herd-Clark lays out the historical context of Fortune’s life and his place in the African-American intelligentsia. Tameka Bradley Hobbs adds an excellent biographical afterword that describes Fortune’s remarkable life after he left Florida for the final time. Period photographs and detailed endnotes further enhance the book.”
—Civil War News

“Individuals interested in African American history, Southern history, Reconstruction, Florida history, and biographies would enjoy reading this interesting work.”
—David H. Jackson, author of Booker T. Washington and the Struggle Against White Supremacy: The Southern Educational Tours, 1908–1912 and editor of Go Sound the Trumpet: Selections in Florida’s African American History

“A substantial and lively contribution to Reconstruction-era literature. This first-hand discussion of black response to Klan violence, and retaliation in particular, is novel and perceptive.”
—Michael Fitzgerald, author of Urban Emancipation: Popular Politics in Reconstruction Mobile
