• W1567379014 abstract "Of Times and Race: Essays Inspired by John F. Marszalek. Edited by Michael B. Ballard and Mark R. Cheathem. (Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 2013. Pp. [xii], 164. $55.00, ISBN 978-1-61703-639-2.) Vietnam War veteran John F. Marszalek taught at Mississippi State University for close to thirty years, publishing thirteen books (most notably, Sherman: A Soldier's Passion for Order [New York, 1993]) and over three hundred articles and reviews. Recently he emerged from retirement to become executive director and managing editor of the Ulysses S. Grant Association, which, due to Marszalek's reputation and clout, has resulted in the organization's relocation from Illinois to Mississippi. His tutelage has also helped over twenty graduate students go on to productive careers. Several of his proteges pay tribute to their mentor with eight essays in Of Times and Race: Essays Inspired by John F. Marszalek. The preface confesses that most of the authors had not considered race as an imperative in our varying fields of interest until Marszalek showed them it was vital to any area of study in American history (p. x). Their contributions reveal how this enlightened perspective shaped their varying projects. The work concludes with Howard University professor Edna Greene Medford's analysis of each essay. The book begins with two ill-fitted chapters. Mark R. Cheathem's examination of Andrew Jackson Donelson's debt problems reveals that President Andrew Jackson's nephew struggled financially despite his name and government appointments. Yet the author touches only lightly on Donelson's slave management, never considering whether his problems resulted from a slave community that successfully stymied the productivity of plantations owned by a largely absentee owner. Meanwhile, Thomas D. Cockrell provides an enlightening overview of Mississippi Unionists. Not surprisingly, he reveals that they held much the same beliefs about race and emancipation as their rebel counterparts, and that anti-Confederate sentiments were likely more important than pro-Union sympathies in cultivating Unionism in the state. Race lies mostly at the periphery of the essay, and Cockrell gives little space to the Unionist activities of African Americans. Other Civil War essays fit more comfortably within the book's theme. Stephen S. Michot details African Americans in the Lafourche region of southern Louisiana, concentrating on black troop movements and arguing that scholars have not sufficiently studied the black military experience in the western theater. However, the author's apparent contempt for Benjamin F. Butler clouds the essay. Recent works by Adam Goodheart and James Oakes have helped restore the controversial officer's reputation, praising his influence on the Union's emancipationist agenda. Further, Michot insists that blacks [a]lmost assuredly bore weapons for the Confederacy, yet he offers little proof (p. …" @default.
