Century ( New York, 1974), devotes more attention to the scalawag than have
historians of Reconstruction; Chapters V and VI summarize much of what has
appeared in state historical journals and in unpublished dissertations about the
scalawag. Kenneth M. Stampp, The Era of Reconstruction, 1865-1877 ( New
York, 1965), 156-65, has the fullest discussion of the scalawag in any revisionist
survey of Reconstruction. Other recent surveys which touch briefly on the
scalawag are Allen W. Trelease, Reconstruction: The Great Experiment ( New
York, 1971), 107-08; John Hope Franklin, Reconstruction: After the Civil War
( Chicago, 1961), 98-103; William R. Brock, Conflict and Transformation: The
United States, 1844-1877 ( Middlesex, England, 1973), 375-76. Biographies of
individual scalawags include Lillian A. Pereyra, James Lusk Alcorn, Persistent
Whig ( Baton Rouge, 1966); Donald Bridgman Sanger, James Longstreet: Soldier, Politician, Officeholder, and Writer ( Gloucester, Mass., 1968); Lillian Adele Kibler
, Benjamin F. Perry, South Carolina Unionist ( Durham, N.C., 1946); E. Merton Coulter, William G. Brownlow, Fighting Parson of the Southern Highlands (Chapel Hill, 1937).
