This book presents three decades of writings by one of America's
most distinguished historians. John Higham, renowned for his
influential works on immigration, ethnicity, political symbolism,
and the writing of history, here traces the changing contours of
American culture since its beginnings, focusing on the ways that an
extraordinarily mobile society has allowed divergent ethnic, class,
and ideological groups to "hang together" as Americans. The book
includes classic essays by Higham and more recent writings, some of
which have been substantially revised for this publication. Topics
range widely from the evolution of American national symbols and
the fate of our national character to new perspectives on the New
Deal, on other major turning points, and on changes in race
relations after major American wars. Yet they are unified by an
underlying theme: that a heterogeneous society and an inclusive
national culture need each other.

Winner: Albert Castel Book AwardIn a recent poll of leading
historians, Charles A. Dana was named among the “Twenty-Five Most
Influential Civil War Figures You’ve Probably Never Heard Of.”
If you have heard of Dana, it was probably from his classic
Recollections of the Civil War (1898), which was ghostwritten by
muckraker Ida Tarbell and riddled with errors cited by unsuspecting
historians ever since. Lincoln’s Informer at long last sets the
record straight, giving Charles A. Dana his due in a story that
rivals the best historical fiction. Dana didn’t just record
history, Carl J. Guarneri notes: he made it. Starting out as
managing editor of Horace Greeley’s New York Tribune, he led the
newspaper’s charge against proslavery forces in Congress and the
Kansas territory. When his criticism of the Union’s prosecution
of the war became too much for Greeley, Dana was drafted by
Secretary of War Edwin Stanton to be a special agent—and it was
in this capacity that he truly made his mark. Drawing on Dana’s
reports, letters, and telegrams—“the most remarkable,
interesting, and instructive collection of official documents
relating to the Rebellion,” according to the custodian of the
Union war records—Guarneri reconstructs the Civil War as Dana
experienced and observed it: as a journalist, a confidential
informant to Stanton and Lincoln, and, most controversially, an
administration insider with surprising influence. While reporting
most of the war’s major events, Dana also had a hand in military
investigations, the cotton trade, Lincoln’s reelection, passage
of the Thirteenth Amendment, and, most notably, the making of
Ulysses S. Grant and the breaking of other generals. Dana’s
reporting and Guarneri’s lively narrative provide fresh
impressions of Lincoln, Stanton, Grant, and other Union war
leaders. Lincoln’s Informer shows us the unlikely role of a
little-known confidant and informant in the Lincoln
administration’s military and political successes. A remarkable
inside look at history unfolding, this book draws the first
complete picture of a fascinating character writing his chapter in
the story of the Civil War.

The utopian socialism of Charles Fourier spread throughout Europe
in the mid-nineteenth century, but it was in the United States that
it generated the most intense excitement. In this rich and engaging
narrative, Carl J. Guarneri traces the American Fourierist movement
from its roots in the religious, social, and economic upheavals of
the 1830s, through its bold communal experiments of the 1840s, to
its lingering twilight after the Civil War.
