Book Synopsis
An examination of how the community of Lynchburg, Virginia, experienced four distinct but overlapping events: secession, civil war, black emancipation, and reconstruction. The book seeks to demonstrate how ordinary people influenced the contours of race and class relations in their town.

Trade Review
A readable and interesting book that . . . provides a vivid portrait of the evolution of one southern city during this trying period. It is a most worthy contribution to the literature of the South and to urban history generally. -- John Ingham * Journal of American History *
