About this book

A Union Officer in the Reconstruction by De Forest, John W.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780807121832.

Beginning in 1866, John William De Forest served fifteen months as an agent of the Freedmens Bureau in Greenville, South Carolina. After he left the army, he wrote a series of magazine articles about the bureaus operation as it intersected with the daily lives of freedmen. In 1948 the articles were compiled in A Union Officer in the Reconstruction, which offers a deft analysis of the structure of southern society after the war.
