American City, Southern Place: A Cultural History of Antebellum Richmond. by Gregg D. Kimball

American City, Southern Place: A Cultural History of Antebellum Richmond. by Gregg D. Kimball University of Georgia Press, 2000. Kimball is a historian at the Library of VA-- or he was when this was written, anyway. (I interviewed him for my dissertation; so helpful.) The workers, church-goers, local families, dealing with a new sense of identity. This is thorough. I am even more attached to his chapter in the Brundage book Where These Memories Grow.
