"Ulrich Bonnell Phillips (1877-1934) established a reputation as one of the early twentieth century's foremost authorities on the history of African American slavery and the Old South ... Phillips based his writing on an array of primary sources, including a growing collection of photographs he accumulated during his research. These images of plantation crops and machinery, agricultural scenes, distinctive architecture, white southerners, and former slaves and their descendants collectively record much about life and labor in the rural South three decades before the Farm Security Administration undertook its own documentary projects during the New Deal"--Dust jacket.
