Institute at Gettysburg College, also a professor of history, also here at gettysburg. It is my pleasure to introduce mark summers. Mark summers is the thomas d. Clark professor of history at the university of kentucky where he teaches courses in 19th century u. S. History and political history. He is the author of numerous books including rum, romanticism and rebellion, the making of a president in 1884, as well as a dangerous stir, fear, paranoia and the making of reconstruction. This book was a groundbreaking monograph, one that examined the overlooked role of fear and emotions in reconstruction politics. Most recently, dr. Summers published this book, the ordeal of reunion and it is already sold out in our bookstore, just behind you. There will be more copies coming. This volume, which is part of the university of North Carolina little field series, it is, what i think, a volume that needs to stand alongside eric foners classic reconstruction. It is that important of a book. Mark s
