Book Description
Photographer Thomas Harding, armed only with his pinhole camera and a keen eye for the unusual, traveled thousands of miles of backroads and lanes to record the remnants of a vanishing genre of folk architecture--the outhouse. Harding boldly stepped where others might fear to tread. He followed the elusive drain from the Bible (Deuteronomy 23:12-13), to the Romans (indoor facilities over streams of water), to the lowly rural American outhouse.

A Man by Any Other Name
Author: Joseph M. Beilein Jr.
Publisher: University of Georgia Press
ISBN: 0820364541
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
Few men of the Civil War era were as complicated or infamous as William Clarke Quantrill. Most who know him recognize him as the architect of the Confederate raid on Lawrence, Kansas, in August 1863 that led to the murder of 180 mostly unarmed men and boys. Before that, though, Quantrill led a transient life, shifting from one masculine form to another. He played the role of fastidious schoolmaster, rough frontiersman, and even confidence man, developing certain notions and skills on his way to becoming a proslavery bushwhacker. Quantrill remains impossible to categorize, a man whose motivations have been difficult to pin down. Using new documents and old documents examined in new ways, A Man by Any Other Name paints the most authentic portrait of Quantrill yet rendered. The detailed study of this man not only explores a one-of-a-kind enigmatic figure but also allows us entry into many representative experiences of the Civil War generation. This picture brings to life a unique vision of antebellum life in the territories and a fresh view of guerrilla warfare on the border. Of even greater consequence, seeing Quantrill in this way allows us to examine the perceived essence of American manhood in the mid-nineteenth century.
