The Rise of Silas Lapham (Signet Classics)
William Dean Howells
Signet Classics
, 1983
Should be called "The Rise and Fall of Silas Lapham"
This book blew my mind! I found it absolutely engaging and the character of Silas Lapham was endearing to the point of surprise. This book says a lot about a class conscious America and even more about how "mom and pop" capitalism gets pushed aside to make way for ...

Vintage
, 1981
Living large in Louisiana

Wow- a history book??
I was never one to enjoy history much until my college history class used this book for the main text. I found this book great reading (interesting and kept my attention most of the time). I must say that after that class and this book, I have become much more ...
McClellan, Sherman, and Grant
T. Harry Williams
Ivan R. Dee, Publisher
, 1991
wisconsin connection
I love to read about the Civil War, especially when the author was Wisconsin-educated. I have my own kind of connection to him since I became good friends with his first wife many years after she helped him produce his earliest published writings about the War.
The Earl of Louisiana (Southern Biography Series)
A. J. Liebling
Louisiana State University Press
, 2008
Brilliant writing does justice to a flawed but fascinating subject
I was a kid in Louisiana when Uncle Earl was governor. When Earl started having some of his troubles (how's THAT for a euphemism?), several Northern journalists came down to write about (and laugh at) the Rube In Charge. Liebling did so for the New Yorker, but he ...

P.G.T. Beauregard: Napoleon in Gray (Southern Biography Series)
T. Harry Williams
Louisiana State University Press
, 1995
Beauregard: feisty and opinionated
The staying power of this book is made obvious in the fact that it was first published in 1955 and it is still in print today. T. Harry Williams is an excellent historian and writer, having won the Pulitzer Prize for his biography on Huey Long. He has written often on ...
Lincoln and His Generals
T. Harry Williams
Gramercy
, 2001
Solid, Unsentimental History
This is not a history of the war or a detailed description of the battles (see Foote's trilogy for that). It's just what it says it is -- a history of Lincoln's dealings with his generals. At the onset of the war, the US had almost no army, few weapons, no officers ...

Interesting Glimpses at some key Civil War Issues
This is a slim volume of four essays that turn their attention to three issues of the Civil War: the significance of Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee in their conduct of war for the Northern and Southern sides, and the relationship of President Lincoln with the ...
Hayes of the Twenty-third: The Civil War Volunteer Officer
T. Harry Williams
Bison Books
, 1994
A great study of a Civil War unit commander
Any book by Professor Williams is worth reading. He is a wonderful stylist and meticulous researcher. He is analytical and has a simple, plain spoken narrative style that educates the reader along with making it simple to follow his thesis, though by no means is his ...

Lincoln and the Radicals
T. Harry Williams
University of Wisconsin Press
, 1960
Which was more important, the War of the Rebellion or the war between the Republicans?
I first read this book in graduate school twenty-five years ago, and while recently rereading it I was impressed anew with its scintillating but remarkably dated analysis. T. Harry Williams argued a very interesting thesis about Abraham Lincoln in this benchmark work ...
