Louisiana State University Press, 1992. Trade paperback of The Fire-Eaters by Eric H. Walther.

"In the early 1850s, northerners and southerners alike used the term fire-eater to describe anyone whose views were clearly outside the political mainstream. Eventually, though, the word came to be most closely identified with those southerners who were staunch and unyielding advocates of secession. In this broadly researched and illuminating study, Eric Walther examines the lives of nine of the most prominent fire-eaters."

Very Good. Nice book with light shelf wear.
