Summary: Reconstruction and the City
Comment: I'd read Quigley & Gellman's JIM CROW NEW YORK and liked it. This book builds off of the last sections of that book and tells the New York side of the civil war and reconstruction. Quigley does a good job explaining the city's ugly racial history by looking at the years after the draft riots. I really liked the chapter on election day in 1870 and the way federal troops were deployed. The final section on Grant's tomb makes you think about how reconstyruction continued, or maybe continues.
