This bibliography does not list every source utilized in the preparation of this book. Instead, I have listed those works that I relied upon most heavily for information, or that influenced my conception of Civil War-era politics and culture. Those who wish to examine a more extensive list, especially of anti-Catholic literature and Master's theses, should consult my doctoral dissertation, "Nativism and Politics: The Know Nothing Party in the Northern United States" ( Columbia University, 1990).
