These essays look at southern social customs within a single city in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In particular, the volume focuses on paternalism between masters and slaves, husbands and wives, elites and the masses, and industrialists and workers. How Augusta's millworkers, homemakers, and others resisted, exploited, or endured the constraints of paternalism reveals the complex interplay between race, class, and gender.
One essay looks at the subordinating effects of paternalism on women in the Old South--slave, free black, and white--and the coping strategies...

Widely read and regularly reprinted since it was first published in 1791, William Bartram's Travels records his passage into the region of the United States known as the "Old Southwest" -- Georgia, East and West Florida, along with the area that became Mississippi and Alabama -- as well as the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee.

This is the first comprehensive history of the Lower Chickasaws in the Savannah River Valley. Edward J. Cashin, the preeminent historian of colonial Georgia history, offers an account of the Lower Chickasaws, who settled on the Savannah River near Augusta in the early eighteenth century and remained an integral part of the region until the American Revolution. Fierce allies to the English settlers, the Chickasaws served as trading partners, loyal protectors, and diplomatic representatives to other southeastern tribes. In the absence of their benevolence, the English settlements would not have...

On the southern colonial frontier--the lands south of the Carolinas from the Savannah to the Mississippi rivers--Indian traders were an essential commercial and political link between Native Americans and European settlers. By following the career of one influential trader from 1736 to 1776, Edward J. Cashin presents a historical perspective of the frontier not as the edge of European civilization but as a zone of constant change and interaction between many cultures.
Lachlan McGillivray knew firsthand of the frontier's natural wealth and strategic importance to England, France, and...
