Books by Wallace Hettle

Provides a sample of the enormous documentary record on the domestic population of the Confederate states, offering a glimpse of what it was like to live through a brutal war fought almost entirely on southern soil.

A study of politics in the 19th-century American South. It seeks to illuminate the link between the Jacksonian political culture that dominated antebellum debate and the notorious infighting of the Confederacy. At the heart of the book is a collective biography of five individuals.
