VI, VII (1906); in William A. Dunning's "Reconstruction, Political
and Economic", 1865-1877, in the "American Nation" Series, volume XXII
(1907); and in Peter Joseph Hamilton's "The Reconstruction Period"
(1905), which is volume XVI of "The History of North America", edited by
F. N. Thorpe. The work of Rhodes is spacious and fair-minded but there
are serious gaps in his narrative; Dunning's briefer account covers the
entire field with masterly handling; Hamilton's history throws new light
on all subjects and is particularly useful for an understanding of the
Southern point of view. A valuable discussion of constitutional problems
is contained in William A. Dunning's "Essay on the Civil War and
Reconstruction and Related Topics" (1904); and a criticism of the
reconstruction policies from the point of view of political science and
constitutional law is to be found in J. W. Burgess's "Reconstruction and
the Constitution, 1866-1876" (1902). E. B. Andrews's "The United States
in our own Time" (1903) gives a popular treatment of the later period. A
collection of brief monographs entitled "Why the Solid South?" by Hilary
A. Herbert and others (1890) was written as a campaign document to
offset the drive made by the Republicans in 1889 for new enforcement
laws.

There are many scholarly monographs on reconstruction in the several
states. The best of these are: J. W. Garner's "Reconstruction in
Mississippi" (1901), W. L. Fleming's "Civil War and Reconstruction
in Alabama" (1905), J. G. de R. Hamilton's "Reconstruction in North
Carolina" (1914), W. W. Davis's "The Civil War and Reconstruction in
Florida" (1913), J. S. Reynolds's "Reconstruction in South Carolina",
1865-1877 (1905); C. W. Ramsdell's "Reconstruction in Texas" (1910), and
C. M. Thompson's "Reconstruction in Georgia" (1915).

Books of interest on special phases of reconstruction are not numerous,
but among those deserving mention are Paul S. Pierce's "The Freedmen's
Bureau" (1904), D. M. DeWitt's "The Impeachment and Trial of Andrew
Johnson" (1903), and Paul L. Haworth's "The Hayes-Tilden Disputed
Presidential Election of 1876" (1906), each of which is a thorough study
of its field. J. C. Lester and D. L. Wilson's "Ku Klux Klan" (1905) and
M. L. Avary's "Dixie After the War" (1906) contribute much to a fair
understanding of the feeling of the whites after the Civil War; and
Gideon Welles, "Diary", 3 vols. (1911), is a mine of information from a
conservative cabinet
