A short, crisply written account . . . . Swanson has a feel for human drama and for Caswell County itself, set amid the "rolling red clay hills" of a once-prosperous tobacco-growing region whose inhabitants were divided almost equally between white and black . . . . a valuable contribution to the literature of Reconstruction."—Wall Street Journal
Drawing on personal testimony, newspaper reports, and period correspondence, Swanson attempts to reconstruct John Stephens's life—and to show how his murder shaped North Carolina politics for years to come."—The Civil War Monitor
