Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of North America, Vol. 17: The Rise of the New South The author of the present volume has felt the inspiration and the necessary repression incident to his division of the history of North America. Himself a native of the South and in close touch with the tremendous advance that has excited well-nigh as great admiration as did the heroism of the South in the Civil War, an active participant, indeed, in the movement that has made the South of to-day, he is peculiarly fitted to write upon the subject assigned to him. His personal knowledge has given him the point of view of the Southerner, and the training in analytical investigation which enabled him to produce the histories associated with his name has caused him to extend his field of observation to all accessible data.
