- W2023665265 abstract "Knights of the Quill: Confederate Correspondents Their Civil War Reporting. Patricia G. McNeely, Debra Reddin van Tuyll, Henry H. Schulte. West Lafayette, IN: Purdue University Press, 2010. 729 pp. $150 hbk.One hundred fifty years ago, the Confederate states seceded, two huge armies began a long bloody struggle from the East Coast to the trans-Mississippi West. Thousands of Americans on both sides were killed wounded at places such as Shiloh Manassas. The Battle of Sharpsburg (or Antietam) resulted in an astounding 23,000 casualties, the bloodiest single-day battle in American history.The Southern journalists who covered the biggest story in US history have never been widely recognized or celebrated. Knights of the Quill goes a long way toward changing that, fleshing out the lives reporting of twenty-eight correspondents from eight Southern states, including two women writers known only as Joan Virginia. These profiles, written by the three editors fourteen other historians, are well researched, well written, remarkably consistent.Editors Patricia McNeely Henry Schulte are former journalists former journalism professors at the University of South Carolina; Debra Reddin van Tuyll teaches at Augusta State University in Georgia.The title of the book is an allusion to the class identification of Southern correspondents of the period, many of whom were well-educated patricians, different from the working-class bohemians who reported for the Northern press. As van Tuyll notes in the book's introduction, Southern journalists were also heavily invested in Southern life; as a group, she notes, they owned more slaves than the average Southerner.The urgency of the Civil War brought changes to Southern journalism, shifting its focus from opinion to news. For example, John S. Thrasher, superintendent of the most successful of the Confederate news services, pushed his correspondents to write dispatches that were timely free of opinion or comment. Be careful . . . , Thrasher wrote, and see that you do not send unfounded rumors as news.Given their various backgrounds, personalities, talents, the Southern correspondents offer a number of distinctive views of the war. Many were fervent Southern patriots, defending the need for slavery sharply denouncing the Lincoln administration's perceived suppression of individual liberties states' rights. One enterprising propagandist, Henry Hotze, established a pro-Confederate newspaper in London in an effort to secure European support for the South.The best of these chapters include the wider story of the war: context that helps the reader evaluate the quality impact of each correspondent. Mark Dolan's chapter on Alabama correspondent Samuel Chester Reid Jr., for example, reveals a man fully suited to the many hardships occasional joys of war reporting. Reid was so dedicated to truth-telling that his reports angered Confederate commanders caused his editor in Mobile to screen his reports carefully. …" @default.
