Özet:
"A fitting tribute to William J. Cooper, Jr., one of the leading historians of the nineteenth-century South, these nine chapters (eight by former students, one by a colleague) exemplify the depth of research, clarity of writing, and rigor of analysis that we associate with the honoree. The perceptive and elegantly written appreciation of Cooper by Gaines Foster perfectly captures Cooper's personality and the range and significance of his scholarship. All in all, a model festschrift." -- John Boles, William P. Hobby Professor of History, Rice University.
