Fusion and the Failure of Virginia Reconstruction, 1869-1870.An important contribution to the history of the Civil War and Reconstruction era, this book reveals the crucial and remarkably varied roles that African-Americans in Virginia's tobacco belt played in the momentous changes wrought by the transition from slavery to freedom. The state with the largest number of slaves on the eve of the Civil War, Virginia had undergone a peculiar set of economic developments that made its black population, both enslaved and free, especially diverse. A significant minority had made contact, typically through slave hiring, with a form of wage labor; still others had engaged in independent production and exchange. Because they shared their experiences with the slave majority who remained on the plantations and farms, hired slaves and independent producers helped create a nascent antebellum market culture, which in turn both undermined and buttressed slavery, laid the foundation for Confederate defeat, and influenced the introduction of free labor in the immediate postemancipation period. Basing her study on extensive research in letters, family papers, and public documents, Lynda J. Morgan traces the complexities of the story from the prewar decade, when Virginia's plantation heartland served as a hired slave-labor reserve for its eastern industry and private households; through secession and the Civil War, when Virginia Confederates failed to adapt African-American labor to their wartime purposes; and, finally, to emancipation and its aftermath, when freed slaves in the tobacco belt infused, with varying degrees of success, their previous knowledge and experience into the state's postwar economy, which was moving toward unbridled capitalist development. Morgan demonstrates that by marketing their labor many former slaves successfully imposed some of their preindustrial notions of property and work upon the new pattern. Thus, freed slaves in the Virginia tobacco belt were often able to adapt to postwar conditions more rapidly than their counterparts in the Cotton South. As Morgan notes, many other historical studies of emancipation have pivoted on the question of whether the Civil War and the elimination of slavery fundamentally altered the character of southern society. While stressing that these events were in fact nothing short of revolutionary, Morgan's study suggests that elements of continuity were also vitally important. The result is a nuanced view of the postwar South and of the nature of slavery and the culture it produced.

Thalberg; life and legend. by Thomas, Bob,1922-2014.(CARDINAL)148227;

Bibliography: pages 395-397.In the Golden Age of Hollywood, in the interval between World Wars, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was indisputably the Olympus of Movieland. How this motion picture studio was able to gain such ascendancy in a brash, highly competitive industry is one of the most fascinating chapters in the annals of filmmaking. It is also primarily the story of one man: Irving Thalberg. Thalberg, almost invariably referred to as the "Boy Wonder of Hollywood," arrived at Sunset and Vine when he was scarcely out of school. By the time he was twenty years old, he was head of production at Universal and already displaying flashes of that remarkable genius for developing stars and doctoring scripts that was to make his name a legend in the land of legends. It was in partnership with Louis B. Mayer that Thalberg really came into his own. Forming the combine of MGM, he converted the studio into the greatest film factory in movie history. With the true impresario's gift for artistic merit and financial gain, he presented Garbo in Anna Christie; the Lunts in The Guardsman; Clark Gable and Charles Laughton in Mutiny on the Bounty; John, Lionel and Ethel Barrymore in Rasputin and the Empress; Norma Shearer and Leslie Howard in Romeo and Juliet; the Marx Brothers in A Night at the Opera; and many others. The record of this extraordinary life--the early success, fantastic achievement, ideal marriage (to Norma Shearer), and untimely death--was to furnish F. Scott Fitzgerald with the material for the hero of his final, unfinished novel, The Last Tycoon. Now, in this definitive biography of Thalberg, the legend comes to life.--Adapted from dust jacket.I: Legend. A Sunday afternoon at the Thalbergs ; F.
