Tourgée, a former Union officer from Ohio, came to North Carolina in search of economic opportunity after the collapse of the Confederacy. A young man and a fearless advocate of freedmen's rights, he soon became a radical Republican leader and a prominent figure in local politics.After he quit the South in 1874, Tourgée published a succession of novels and stories which made him famous. Bricks Without Straw, one of his two best-selling novels, is not only a moving story but an important commentary on the Reconstruction process in the South.This new edition of the book remains faithful to the original, which appeared in 1880. In his introduction, Profession Otto H.

But, as Professor Olsen points out, the book's pioneering, and still pertinent, literary achievement is its repudiation of racist stereotypes and its effective portrayal of the essential humanity of the freed black slaves. …
