Thanks to Jim Schmidt for the heads up that the LSU Press Spring 2011 Catalog is available online. Looks like there are some interesting books for Civil War readers due out soon. Download a PDF of the catalog by clicking here.
I am particularly interested in reading Confederate Outlaw since I have family that came from the area and also The Last Battle of the Civil War seeing that I just reviewed an excellent book on Arlington National Cemetery.
This isn't about the Civil War but we wanted to do for maids what the slave narratives did for slaves, to bring their world alive. So we gathered the stories from older women of the Great Migration in Iowa. The book is from LSU Press in the catalog now and I thought your readers might be interested. It's The Maid Narratives: Black Domestics and White Families in the Jim Crow South. Thanks, Katherine van Wormer
