Reviews
"Rogers has unearthed a considerable amount of scattered material and has added significantly to our understanding of Reconstruction politics."-- Journal of Southern History, "This study of Richard Whiteley shows how the biography of a minor official caninform the larger questions regarding Reconstruction. It will become a major workin the study of Reconstruction in Georgia." John W. Quist, professor of history, Shippensburg University"Rogers provides an accomplished and engaging portrait of this intriguing, but oft-overlooked player in Reconstruction Georgia. Even more importantly, he uses Whiteley's career as a window into the larger and more complex dynamics of post -Civil War politics in the Deep South, weaving Whiteley's story into the much larger story as smoothly and adeptly as any 'life and times' treatment I know."

Synopsis
Richard Henry Whiteley participated firsthand in the epic events of nineteenth-century America. He came to the United States as a boy in the 1830s, working first in Georgia's textile mills, where the Irish immigrant climbed the ladder to become management. From there, he went on to become a lawyer, an officer in the Civil War, a convert to Southern Republicanism, and finally a U.S. congressman from 1869 to 1876. This biography concerns Whiteley's entire life but focuses particularly on his fight for political survival during the Reconstruction years. Southern Republicans, known as scalawags, were widely reviled for their efforts at fair treatment for ex-slaves, and Whiteley was no exception. His participation in this turbulent era imparts to his career a profound significance, as it reveals much about the post-war South. What circumstances accounted for the election of a white Republican from a Deep South congressional district? Once elected, could a man condemned as a traitorous scalawag continue to hold office? Were the actions of the Republican congressman demonstrably Radical? A Scalawag in Georgia attempts to rehabilitate the record of Southern Republicans during Reconstruction, and its answers to these questions have wide implications not only for the South but the nation as a whole., A controversial period in American history as revealed through one man's personal and political experiences, Richard Henry Whiteley participated firsthand in the epic events of nineteenth-century America.
