William Link's New History of the American South

The History Department is very proud to announce the publication of Dr. William Link’s new book entitled Southern Crucible: The Making of an American Region. Dr. Link is the Richard J. Milbauer Professor of History and Southern Crucible draws upon his extensive experience researching, writing, and teaching the history of the U.S. South.  Oxford University Press plans to release the book in both a combined version as well as one split into two, making it appealing for both the classroom and the reading public.
Dr. Link has written a blog post entitled “How the South Was Made” that introduces the book and you can visit the Oxford University Press website for more information on Southern Crucible.
