Donald G. Nieman

Reviews

”This collection contains a series of unusually good essays on U.S. constitutional and legal history in the nineteenth century. . . . There is much to savor in these essays, which offer depth of analysis, good legal and constitutional history, and superb writing.”
—Choice

“Nieman has done a fine job of weaving together a series of very diverse essays. The volume should be of particular interest to libraries emphasizing southern, legal, and constitutional history and to law libraries.”
