Books by Ted Tunnell

Examines the byzantine complexities of Louisiana's restoration to the Union, from the capture of New Orleans to the downfall of the Radical Republicans a decade and a half later. Ted Tunnell writes with insight about wartime Reconstruction and the period of presidential Reconstruction, but his ultimate concern is with Radical Reconstruction.

Ted Tunnell's superbly researched biography of Marshall H. Twitchell is a major addition to Reconstruction literature. This first full-length study of Twitchell is edifying, entertaining, and cutting-edge scholarship.
