From the back cover: "A graphic account of the rebuilding and expansion of the former capital of the Confederacy in the decades after Appomattox.  Chesson's command of factual detail concerning the evolution of the city's neighborhoods and transportation system is particularly impressive - as is his analysis of the economic circumstances and social attitudes that inhibited Richmond's growth. By stressing the persistence of traditionalist, conservative values among the municipal elite, Chesson makes a significant contribution to the ongoing debate over the ipact of the Civil War and Reconstruction on southern mores and aspirations.  "Must reading" for students of the New South." James Tice Moore.
