"Ross Brooks has given us an innovative and multifaceted portrayal of the material world of the Confederacy. Integrating cartoons, photographs, currency, paintings, and clothing, he captures people trying to fashion a nation out of few materials and limited time."--Edward L. Ayers, author of The Thin Light of Freedom: The Civil War and Emancipation in the Heart of America "Brooks comprehensively explores not just the obvious sources like published images, and flags, but sheet music, theatrical performances and exhibitions, uniforms and material culture. His work deftly shows a Confederacy struggling to imagine itself, producing a tangle of messages about masculinity, loyalty, and race, and makes a valuable contribution to the study of Confederate nationalism and its endurance."--Anne Sarah Rubin, author of A Shattered Nation: The Rise and Fall of the Confederacy, 1861-1868 "Brooks' close analysis provides keen insights into how the southern insurgents imagined themselves, represented their revolutionary government, and made their 'southern way of life' visible to the world. Their iconology matters not just in understanding the Confederacy's rise and fall, but in grasping Lost Cause mythology and its impact on contemporary American life."--John David Smith, author of An Old Creed for the New South: Proslavery Ideology and Historiography, 1865-1918
