Supplanting America’s Railroads
The Early Auto Age, 1900–1940
JOHN A. JAKLE AND KEITH A. SCULLE

wide-ranging effects of automobility on American life—examine the various ways in which
invention rapidly gained popularity, especially after Henry Ford’s innovative mass-production
techniques made cars affordable to the middling classes.
In this engaging book, John A. Jakle and Keith A. Sculle—renowned experts on the
the railroads responded to their new competition, not just from the automobile itself but
from its close cousins, the motor truck and motor bus, through several decades up to the eve
of World War II. Drawing on extensive research in the trade publications of the period, the
authors examine the development of interurban and intraurban rail transport, the transition
from steam to electric and diesel power, and the railroads’ close involvement in the nascent
trucking and passenger-bus industries. They devote a chapter to the places where trains

and automobiles came most directly and dangerously into conflict—railroad crossings—and
pay special attention throughout to the key role of government in the competition, whether
through antitrust legislation, taxation, or the building of the “good roads” that were so
necessary to the rise of auto, truck, and bus transport.
Although the railroads remain with us, it was the automobile that emerged as the predom-
inant transportation form, owing to its promise of speed, convenience, flexibility of movement,
and, most important, self-gratification. In a country that places such high value on individual
freedom, the romance of motoring has proven irresistible.

Tennessee Delta Quiltmaking is an excellent study of quilting
in rural west Tennessee. Both black and white quilters inhabit the small-farm
region, and their quilting traditions are largely shared across racial lines. A study
that highlights shared culture, rather than seeking to distinguish racial or ethnic
contributions, is a welcome direction in cultural research.”

Tennessee Delta Quiltmaking
TERI KLASSEN
Prior to the 1960s, quiltmaking thrived in the cotton-rich Tennessee Delta as a crucial source
of warm bedcovers among cash-poor yet self-sufficient farm households. But as agriculture
mechanized, rural workers switched to factory jobs and could afford nicer houses and electric
blankets. Quiltmaking survived because women—both black and white—reinvented it as a
hobby that met personal and social needs. Though scholars have studied quilt styles with rural
southern roots, few have considered black and white quiltmakers together or as part of a shared
regional culture.
In Tennessee Delta Quiltmaking, Teri Klassen traces how mid-twentieth-century common
quilts developed from nineteenth-century styles. Through interviews with people from rural
households, Klassen uncovers the ways in which designs and labor were shared and the ways in

which quiltmaking was part of the small-farm culture that was common to blacks and whites.
While quiltmaking was a creative form passed down in families, limited means and accessible
materials (such as home-grown cotton for batting) made it both a necessity and a highly evolved
custom in southwestern Tennessee’s upper Delta region. For families in this region, the quilt
symbolized homemaker competence and self-reliance, a trait especially valued by sharecroppers
ALSO OF INTEREST
and tenant-farmers who owned no land. The culture of quiltmaking reflected living conditions
and values of these folk, and Klassen details numerous changes in this culture, from how it
contributed to small-farm stability to how industrialization affected the practice.
By considering quiltmaking’s practical, aesthetic, and social aspects in a historical, mixedrace context, Tennessee Delta Quiltmaking makes a unique contribution to the study of the
Tennessee Delta and the understanding of common-quilt design.

Clothing and Textile Workers Union was to rebuild a failing local and the problems were
daunting: an anti-union company in financial disarray, sharply declining union membership,
and myriad workplace grievances. In the tumultuous months ahead, ownership of the plant
twice switched hands, and he would come to fear for his life and consider desperate measures
to salvage the union’s cause.
In this riveting memoir, Cohen takes the reader from the union hall and factory gates to
the bargaining table and courtroom, and ultimately to the picket line. We see him winning
the trust of disillusioned union members, negotiating with a hostile employer and its highpowered legal counsel, and hitting the pavement with leaflets and union cards in hand. We
get to know the millworkers with whom he formed close bonds, including a stormy romance

with a young woman at the plant. His up-close account of the struggle brims with telling
descriptions of the negotiating process, the grinding work at the textile mill, the lives of its
employees outside the workplace, and the grim realities of union busting in America. When
the organizer’s four-year-old daughter accompanies him to the field, a unique and unexpected
dimension is added to the chronicle.
A compelling, dramatic story that alternates between major triumphs and frustrating set-
backs, The Jackson Project provides a rare look at the labor movement in the American South
from an insider’s perspective.

Appalachian people are frequently depicted as poorly educated whites who isolate themselves in

essays range from the anticipated—Ron Rash, Barbara Kingsolver, Harriette Simpson Arnow—to
the unanticipated—Charles Frazier’s magical realism, a Confederate soldier’s journals, and three

Agee’s film reviews are insightful, entertaining, and, in their quiet way, genuinely
poetic. Although best known for Let Us Now Praise Famous Men and his Pulitzer-prize
winning novel, he’s equally brilliant as a film critic. Agee realized early on that even a Hollywood
film could be, in the hands of the right director, a work of art, and it was a natural step for
him to move from writing about film to becoming a first-rate, honored screenwriter.”

James Agee first gained widespread recognition as a movie reviewer and critic. In October 1944,
not quite two years after he became the film columnist for the Nation, no less an eminence than
poet W. H. Auden judged Agee’s reviews to be “the most remarkable regular event in journalism
today.”
Scrupulously edited by Charles Maland, this volume stands as the definitive collection
of Agee’s film writing. Not only does it include all of his bylined Nation reviews (December
1942–September 1948), but it also brings together for the first time the entirety of his unsigned
reviews and cover stories for Time (September 1942–November 1948), as identified by the
magazine’s archivist, Bill Hooper. Also included are various essays Agee produced for other

publications—ranging from a prep school appreciation of F. W. Murnau’s The Last Laugh to his
celebrated Life magazine pieces on director John Huston and the great comedians of the silent
era—as well as several previously unpublished manuscripts found in the Agee collections at
the Universities of Tennessee and Texas, which offer additional insight into Agee’s thoughts on
movies and on film reviewing.
A constant moviegoer since childhood, Agee wrote about film with wit, keen perception,
and high standards, always quick to express disappointment when a movie failed, in his eyes, to
live up to what it might have been. But when a movie truly worked for him—William Wellman’s
The Story of G. I. Joe, Charles Chaplin’s Monsieur Verdoux, and Huston’s The Treasure of the
Sierra Madre are key examples—Agee could be both generous with praise and brimming with
insight about the precise features he found so laudable.

Let Us Now Praise Famous Men at 75
EDITED BY MICHAEL A. LOFARO
Barely noticed upon publication in 1941, writer James Agee and photographer Walker Evans’s
unique chronicle of Alabama sharecroppers, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, would enjoy a
remarkable revival during the 1960s. Remembering it as a “bible of sorts” for civil rights activists
like himself, psychiatrist Robert Coles called it “an eloquent testimony that others had cared,
had gone forth to look and hear, and had come back to stand up and address their friends and
neighbors and those beyond personal knowing.” The book has remained in print ever since,
profoundly affecting subsequent generations of readers.

Daniel King has performed a service long overdue for scholars and avid readers of
McCarthy’s work. Incorporating correspondence to and from his editors and agents, and relating
comments he penciled into the margins of his in-progress manuscripts, King has given us a finely
detailed portrait of the craftsman at work. It’s an enjoyably readable account of how the master
bricoleur revised, reconsidered, and ultimately built the novels which so challenge and delight us.”

American Literature
When the New York Times published the first print interview with Cormac McCarthy in 1992,
the author was barely known outside a small group of academics, writers, and devoted readers.
None of his books up to that point, among them Suttree and Blood Meridian, had sold more
than five thousand copies in hardcover. But that same year McCarthy’s All the Pretty Horses
made the best-seller lists, and over the next two decades, with the publication of such books as
No Country for Old Men, the basis for the Coen brothers’ Oscar-winning film, and The Road,
a Pulitzer Prize winner and an Oprah’s Book Club selection, McCarthy became a household
name.
In Cormac McCarthy’s Literary Evolution, Daniel Robert King traces McCarthy’s journey
from cult figure to literary icon. Drawing extensively on McCarthy’s papers and those of Albert
Erskine, his editor and devoted advocate at Random House, as well as the latest in McCarthy
ALSO OF INTEREST
scholarship, King investigates the changes that McCarthy’s work as a novelist, his writing
methods, and the reception of his novels, both inside and outside the publishing industry,
have undergone over the course of his career. Taking several of McCarthy’s major novels as
case studies, King explores the lengthy process of their composition through multiple drafts
and revisions, the signal contributions of the author’s agents and publishers, and McCarthy’s
growing confidence as a writer who is strongly attentive to tone and repeated metaphors and
images. This work also reveals the wide range of McCarthy’s reading and research, especially of
historical and scientific materials, as well as key intertextual connections between the novels.
Part literary biography, part archival investigation, and part study of print culture, this
book is particularly revealing of how one talented writer, properly nurtured by dedicated allies,
went on to gain a huge measure of recognition and respect, which has become increasingly
difficult for serious authors to achieve in today’s profit-driven publishing world.

Paula Gallant Eckard not only explores the utterly teachable
The Lost Boy, she also provides substantive and provocative readings of
a wide variety of contemporary Southern fiction. Through her critical analysis
and admirable focus on ‘lost’ children and children suffering loss, Eckard examines
how some contemporary writers provide new stories of the Civil War, the
role of other wars in Southern lives, and the centrality of family.”

Thomas Wolfe and Lost Children
in Southern Literature
PAULA GALLANT ECKARD
First published in 1937, Thomas Wolfe’s The Lost Boy gives name to the theme of lost children
that has permeated much of southern literature and provides a template for telling their stories.
In Thomas Wolfe and Lost Children in Southern Literature, which grew out of many years of
teaching The Lost Boy and other works of southern literature, Paula Gallant Eckard uses Wolfe’s
novel as a starting point to trace thematic connections among contemporary southern novels
that are comparably evocative in their treatment of lostness.
Eckard explores six authors and their works: Fred Chappell’s I Am One of You Forever,

Mark Powell’s Prodigals, Kaye Gibbons’s Ellen Foster, Sue Monk Kidd’s The Secret Life of Bees,
Bobbie Anne Mason’s In Country, Robert Olmstead’s Coal Black Horse, and Lee Smith’s On
Agate Hill. Though each novel is unique and a product of its own time period, all the novels
explored here are cast against the backdrop of the South during eras of conflict and change. Like
The Lost Boy, these novels reflect a sense of history, a sense of loss associated with that history,
and an innate love of story and narrative, as well as representations of work that historically
ALSO OF INTEREST
have defined the lives of individuals and families throughout the South.
In its artistic treatment of lostness, The Lost Boy creates a significant literary legacy.
As Eckard demonstrates, that legacy continues in the form of these six contemporary authors
who, in writing about the South, perpetuate Wolfe’s efforts as they also create or find the lost
child in new ways.

“
From the Civil War to the civil rights era and the war in Vietnam, Paula
Gallant Eckard examines with starling clarity the “intersections between individual

insight—this is the sort of seminal study that transforms our latent
understanding into clear vision.”

12 Correspondence of James K. Polk
Vol. 13, August 1847–March 1848
EDITED BY MICHAEL DAVID COHEN
Volume thirteen of the Correspondence of James K. Polk documents a critical juncture in the
history of North America. The eleventh president’s letters from August 1847 to March 1848
reveal his and his correspondents’ official and personal concerns during the final months of the
Mexican War.
The U.S. capture of Mexico City and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo redrew the
continental map. Mexican land stretching from Texas to California became part of the United
States. Including the earlier settlement of the northwestern boundary with Canada, Polk’s
policies had enlarged his country by one-third.

Nineteenth-century History
Governing the new land proved a challenge. At odds over whether to allow slavery west of
Texas, Congress, to Polk’s annoyance, could not unite on a bill to form territorial governments.
Some began to fear that discord over slavery’s expansion would split the nation in two.
Polk faced other crises and opportunities during this period. Letters discuss treaty
negotiations with the Kingdom of Hawaii, Mormons’ journey from Illinois to the Salt Lake
Valley, U.S. interest in annexing Cuba, and the opening of diplomatic relations with the Papal
ALSO OF INTEREST
States. Dakota leaders sought the president’s help in conflicts with other Indians and with U.S.
officials. European revolutions prompted hopes in America, including by Polk, for the spread of
republican government.
1848, too, was an election year. Though some Democrats urged Polk to reconsider his pledge
not to seek reelection, he let others vie for the party’s nomination. Ominously, a split within the
party in New York over slavery threatened any Democrat’s chance of retaining the White House.
Polk corresponded with the famous and the obscure. This volume includes letters by
Abraham Lincoln and Nathaniel Hawthorne—and by female seminary students and a purveyor
of patent medicines. Herein Americans mourn the late John Quincy Adams, a Catholic bishop
praises Polk’s religious tolerance, and ordinary Americans weigh in on slavery and war.
The president found time to write to friends and family and to monitor his private business.
Of particular interest to him were the work of the slaves on his Mississippi plantation and the
construction of the Nashville home where he and his wife, Sarah, looked forward to retiring.

Now updated with a new preface that examines dramatic changes in his favorite hiking and
camping area, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this classic adventure chronicle,
which first appeared in 1996, launched the outdoor writing career of Johnny Molloy. The
author of over sixty invaluable hiking, camping, and paddling guides to natural destinations
all over the country, Molloy has turned irresistible enthusiasm for the great outdoors, evident
in this book, into a profound career, dedicated to honoring and celebrating our greatest wild
places—and helping others enjoy them as much as he has.
In fourteen lively personal essays, Johnny Molloy describes the adventures by which
he came of age as a backpacker. Born a “flatlander” in Memphis, he first visited the Smokies
while attending the University of Tennessee-Knoxville in the 1980s. Initially, he treated the
park as a personal playground—a place to cut loose, break rules, and act irresponsibly. After

many hiking excursions, however, he gained a more profound appreciation of the mountains,
becoming an avid park volunteer intent on the protection and improvement of the area. He
grew, as he puts it, both as an outdoor adventurer and as a human being.
Interwoven throughout these pieces is a wealth of Smoky Mountains lore and history
along with dozens of tips for novice backpackers. Molloy’s stories encompass backpacking
during all four seasons as well as accounts of solo hiking, off-trail hiking, and whitewater
canoeing. Whether describing the hazards of crossing a stream in winter or what to do—and
not to do—when one encounters a bear or a rattlesnake, Molloy writes with an infectious
enthusiasm that will delight any lover of the outdoors.

“
Dismantling Slavery brings a new approach to bear on the intersecting discourses of
not just Garrison and Douglass, but others in the conversational circle of abolitionist speech during
the crucial decade between 1841 and 1851. This period was vital in establishing a uniquely American
literature, and the potent, recombinant nature of Douglass and Garrison’s ideas in reaction with each
other affected the web of interconnections between their contemporaries and their works.”

and searing written account of our predecessors calls us to be
the community—black and white, the inheritors of a history we
uncomfortably own and that shapes us still.”
—Christy T. Smith, former editor
of the Brownsville States-Graphic
University of Tennessee Press Fall/Winter 2016–2017
