Eckenrode, Hamilton James. Political history of Virginia during the reconstruction. 50c. Hopkins.
The author “concerns himself almost altogether with the political parties of the reconstruction era. He relates the history of the
Alexandria government, ... and discusses quite fully President Johnson’s attitude toward the Southern states at the close of the Civil war.... He shows that the Republican party in Virginia was for the most part opposed to unlimited negro suffrage, until the Philadelphia convention of 1866, when ‘manhood’ suffrage became a party measure.”—R. of Rs.
“The method of the author is truly critical, the use of the sources satisfactory, ... and the conclusions arrived at are unquestionably justifiable and as accurate as the nature of the subject will permit.” William E. Dodd.
