When Ward Degler graduated from journalism school, his mother speculated he would become a world-famous war correspondent or, at the very least, editor-in-chief of an influential newspaper.

Nearly twenty years after its original publication, "Place Over Time" remains an influential work in an ongoing debate at the heart of southern historiography--what is the South and how is it different from other parts of the country?
