catastrophic damage that spring rains and summer droughts inflicted on the Confederacy, resulting in food shortages south of the Mason-Dixon line. The Howling Storm, with just shy of five hundred pages of text, is not a quick read. Nor is it a page-turner. The many descriptions of soldiers suffering through the mud, rain, heat, and cold might prove monotonous to some readers. That being said, The Howling Storm is a very useful book. Its achievement lies in gathering an enormous amount of information about Civil War weather in one volume. In the past, good military historians included information about the weather in their campaign studies, but Noe’s book provides a relatively compact resource that historians can reference to see what the weather was up to at crucial moments of the Civil War. Because of the book’s broad approach, Noe is able to see larger patterns in the weather, conclusions that would escape more focused studies. For instance, he will note when a cold snap or a torrential downpour that affected one campaign was part of a larger weather system that was also affecting operations in a different theater. One concern that I have about this book is that it could mislead those who read it to think that weather was the most important factor controlling the events of the war. I do not mean to say that Noe asserts this or intended this outcome. Rather, it is simply a danger that comes with relying on any one analytical lens to tell a story. While Noe’s work provides a nice corrective to those who might have been tempted to ignore the weather’s influence, I think it is best read in conjunction with other military histories of the war, allowing readers to weigh the merits of weather as an explanatory tool. The Howling Storm is a great resource for those wanting to add a little information about the weather to their Civil War course, especially for historians who do not specialize in military history. All in all, lay readers and historians alike owe Noe a collective “Huzzah!” for this mammoth work and important contribution to Civil War history. Adam H.

春雨和夏季干旱对邦联造成了灾难性的破坏，导致梅森-迪克逊线以南的粮食短缺。《嚎叫的风暴》只有不到500页的文字，读起来不容易。它也不是一本引人入胜的书。对一些读者来说，许多关于士兵在泥泞、雨水、炎热和寒冷中受苦的描述可能会显得单调乏味。话虽如此，《嚎叫的风暴》是一本非常有用的书。它的成就在于在一卷书中收集了大量关于内战天气的信息。在过去，优秀的军事历史学家在他们的战役研究中包括了有关天气的信息，但诺伊的书提供了一个相对简洁的资源，历史学家可以参考它来了解内战关键时刻的天气状况。由于这本书的方法广泛，诺伊能够看到更大的天气模式，这些结论可能无法进行更集中的研究。例如，他会指出，当寒流或倾盆大雨影响一个战役时，它是一个更大的天气系统的一部分，这个天气系统也影响了另一个战区的行动。我对这本书的一个担忧是，它可能会误导读者，使他们认为天气是控制战争事件的最重要因素。我并不是说诺伊断言了这一点，也不是有意要造成这样的结果。更确切地说，依赖于任何一种分析视角来讲述故事都是一种危险。虽然诺伊的作品很好地纠正了那些可能试图忽视天气影响的人，但我认为它最好与其他战争军事史结合起来阅读，让读者权衡天气作为解释工具的优点。对于那些想在内战课程中添加一些天气信息的人来说，嚎叫的风暴是一个很好的资源，特别是对于那些不专门研究军事史的历史学家来说。总而言之，外行读者和历史学家都欠诺伊一个集体的“哈扎!”为这部庞大的作品和对内战历史的重要贡献。亚当·佩蒂历史系耶稣基督后期圣徒教会

Thomas and Sharon Kennedy-Nolle, as well as a forthcoming collection examining the writing of Albion W. Tourgée (edited by Sandra Gustafson and Robert Levine), show that though Reconstruction-era authors turned to imaginative works as their weapons, they were no less invested in discerning how to get the reading public to accept as true information about conditions in the South. In a moving epilogue, Blair extends his exploration into the latter decades of the nineteenth century with an exploration of Ida B. Wells’s anti-lynching activism. Like the Freedmen’s Bureau reporting, the work of Wells and other African American activists drew on data collection techniques to center the perspectives of Black citizens and influence policy; however, as Blair points out, in contrast to the efforts of the 1860s, “the anti-lynching campaign lacked the backing of the federal government” (135). Further, the supposedly empirically motivated scholarship on Reconstruction that was emerging in the same late nineteenth-century period repeated the erasure of African American perspectives and dismissed the data collected by the Freedmen’s Bureau just as partisans of the early Reconstruction years did. In beautifully written closing paragraphs, Blair shows how present-day organizations like the Equal Justice Initiative redress these abiding distortions via the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, a lynching monument. “It is significant to have a record of wrongdoing,” Blair concludes, because such a record leaves “the possibility of an accounting” (139). As the 2022 Zinn Education Project National Report on the Teaching of Reconstruction discloses, attending to the records of Reconstruction and accounting for their impact is necessary—and very much unfinished—work. The Record of Murders and Outrages contributes to that effort powerfully and should find a ready place on course syllabi as well as on the bookshelves of scholars and any reader interested in Reconstruction.

托马斯和莎伦·肯尼迪-诺勒，以及即将出版的一本关于阿尔比恩·w·图尔格萨梅写作的文集(由桑德拉·古斯塔夫森和罗伯特·莱文编辑)都表明，尽管重建时期的作家们把富有想象力的作品作为武器，但他们在如何让读者接受关于南方状况的真实信息方面也投入了同样多的精力。在感人的结语中，布莱尔将他的探索延伸到了19世纪后几十年，探讨了艾达·b·威尔斯(Ida B. Wells)反对私刑的激进主义。就像自由民局的报告一样，威尔斯和其他非裔美国人活动人士的工作利用数据收集技术来集中黑人公民的观点并影响政策;然而，正如布莱尔指出的，与19世纪60年代的努力相比，“反私刑运动缺乏联邦政府的支持”(135页)。此外，在19世纪晚期出现的所谓的以经验为动机的重建学术，重复了对非裔美国人观点的抹除，并驳斥了自由民局收集的数据，就像重建早期的游击队员所做的那样。在文笔优美的结束语中，布莱尔展示了像“平等司法倡议”这样的现代组织是如何通过私刑纪念碑“国家和平与正义纪念碑”来纠正这些长期存在的扭曲现象的。布莱尔总结道:“有不当行为的记录是很重要的”，因为这样的记录留下了“会计核算的可能性”(139)。正如《2022年津恩教育项目全国重建教学报告》所披露的那样，关注重建的记录并考虑其影响是必要的，也是尚未完成的工作。《谋杀与暴行记录》有力地促进了这一努力，应该在课程大纲以及学者和任何对重建感兴趣的读者的书架上找到一个现成的位置。格雷戈里·拉斯基美国空军学院

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

2022 Hubbell Prize Awarded

EDWARD VALENTIN JR. has won the John T. Hubbell Prize for the best article published in Civil War History during 2021 for his March 2021 article, “Local Knowledge: Black Texans, the Freedmen’s Bureau, and Military Occupation in Reconstruction Texas.”

The prize selection committee, comprised of a subgroup of members of the journal’s editorial advisory board, praised the article as “well written, deftly argued, and creatively conceived.” Although focused on a local story, “Local Knowledge” sheds new light on the larger national process of Reconstruction. Valentin skillfully incorporates the source material, using it not only to establish a narrative but also to analyze and show the interplay between freedpeople and federal authorities. As a result, Valentin is able to map paths and sources of intelligence and support for the Freedmen’s Bureau, while at the same time suggesting the woefully insufficient resources the government applied to the welfare of freedpeople in Texas. As they had in the end of slavery itself, formerly enslaved people played a central role in determining their own fate in partnership with the US government.

J. Wells

Before 1850, in the putative land of liberty, several slave-trading firms operated with abandon in the nation’s capital. Among these nefarious businesses, William H. Williams’ Yellow House was one of the most profitable and the best known, a preeminent capitalist enterprise with tentacles reaching far across the slave South. Untold numbers of Black captives were bought and sold, transactions that would likely mean forced transportation to the newly opened and fertile fields of Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana, where once Native lands would be converted into cotton and sugarcane fields to clothe and feed consumers in rapidly globalizing markets. In this highly detailed, meticulously researched, and engagingly written study, historian Jeff Forret recounts the shady dealings and shrouded lives of the slaver Williams and the twenty-one men and six women who would become the prime figures in a highly interesting series of antebellum court cases that would endure into the Civil War. The controversy launched in 1840 when the enslaved men and women were “convicted”—without due process, of course, and via ad hoc county courts of oyer and terminer—of serious felonies, such as murder and arson. Sentenced to be executed, the enslaved had their lives spared by the Virginia governor, who ordered them to be sold outside of the United States. Upon purchasing the enslaved convicts, Williams promised to sell them in Texas, which was yet to become a part of the Union. The problem, however, was that Williams’ reputation for underhandedness meant that Virginia officials, including Alexandria mayor Bernard Hooe, remained suspicious that he would renege on his promise and sell them in New Orleans instead. Hooe kept a wary eye on Williams’ movements, and when the latter loaded his human cargo onto the Uncas, Virginia officials sent word to counterparts in Mobile and New Orleans that Williams might dock in their ports.

1850年以前，在这片被认为是自由的土地上，几家奴隶贸易公司在美国首都肆意经营。在这些邪恶的企业中，威廉·h·威廉姆斯(William H. Williams)的“黄房子”(Yellow House)是最赚钱、最知名的企业之一，是一家卓越的资本主义企业，其触角远远延伸到蓄奴的南方。数不清的黑人俘虏被买卖，这些交易可能意味着被迫转移到密西西比州、阿拉巴马州和路易斯安那州新开辟的肥沃土地上，在那里，曾经的土著土地将被改造成棉花和甘蔗田，为迅速全球化的市场中的消费者提供衣服和食物。在这本细致入微、研究细致、笔法引人入胜的书中，历史学家杰夫·福瑞特(Jeff Forret)讲述了奴隶贩子威廉姆斯(Williams)的阴暗交易和隐秘生活，以及后来成为一系列非常有趣的内战前法庭案件的主要人物的21名男子和6名女子，这些案件一直持续到内战。1840年，当被奴役的男男女女被“定罪”——当然，没有经过正当程序，而是通过特设的县法院——犯了谋杀和纵火等严重重罪时，这场争论就开始了。被判处死刑的奴隶们得到了维吉尼亚州州长的宽恕，州长下令将他们卖到美国境外。在购买这些被奴役的罪犯时，威廉姆斯承诺将他们卖给尚未成为联邦一部分的德克萨斯州。但问题是，威廉斯以卑劣手段著称，这意味着弗吉尼亚的官员，包括亚历山大市市长伯纳德·胡(Bernard Hooe)，仍然怀疑他会违背承诺，转而在新奥尔良出售它们。胡伊对威廉姆斯的一举一动都保持着警惕，当威廉姆斯把他的人类货物装上恩加斯号时，弗吉尼亚官员向莫比尔和新奥尔良的官员发出消息，说威廉姆斯可能会在他们的港口停靠。
