Brian sits down with Ed to talk about a project of his that’s been
twenty-five years in the making. We’re talking about Ed’s series on
the American Civil War and Reconstruction. The first volume, In The
Presence of Mine Enemies came out in 2003, and won the Bancroft
Prize. It opened with John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry in
1859, and ended just before the Battle of Gettysburg in
1863.
Ed has just published the second volume in the series: The Thin
Light of Freedom: The Civil War and Emancipation in the Heart of
America. He picks up the story in 1863, and continues through 1870
and the ratification of the 15th Amendment.
