1906. An Exposition of Social Conditions Existing in the South During the Twelve Years Succeeding the Fall of Richmond. This book may be called a revelation. It seems to me a body of discoveries that should not be kept from the public-discoveries which have origin in many sources but are here brought together in one book for the first time. No book, hitherto published portrays so fully and graphically the social conditions existing in the South for the twelve years following the fall of Richmond. None so vividly presents race problems. It is the kind of history a witness gives. The author received from observers and participants the larger part of the incidents and anecdotes which she employs.
