Abstract:

This article looks at Brigadier General and Brevet Major General E.R.S. Canby's role as commander of the second of five military districts that made up the former Confederate states during the period of Reconstruction, as well as the reaction to his command by the people of that district. Appointed by the U.S. Attorney General to replace Major General Daniel E. Sickles, Canby was to be intimately involved in the important work of reconstruction in his district, consisting of North and South Carolina, and his actions and decisions would shape the process of reconstruction as well as both states' readmission to the Union.

Abstract:

This article examines three letters written to Theodore Bryant Kingsbury, journalist and editor of the Leisure Hour by the editor of Russell's Magazine, Paul Hamilton Hayne. Hayne was one of two editors who had written particularly pleasing reviews of Kingsbury's work, and a long correspondence between Hayne and Kingsbury began as a result. Most of the letters were lost in a fire at Hayne's home during the Charleston bombardment in the Civil War, but the three surviving letters are reprinted here in full as well as some poems by Kingsbury and reviews penned by Hayne.
