J. Williams Thorne (1816-1897) was an outspoken farmer who spent the first half-century of his remarkable life in Chester County, Pennsylvania, where he took part in political debates, helped fugitive slaves in the Underground Railroad and was active in the Progressive Friends Meeting, a national group of activist Quakers and allied reformers who met annually in Chester County. Williams and his associates discussed vital matters of the day, from slavery to prohibition to women's rights. These issues sometimes came to Thorne's doorstep--he met with nationally prominent reformers, and thwarted kidnappers seeking to enslave one of his free black tenants. After the Civil War, Williams became a "carpetbagger," moving to North Carolina to pursue farming and politics. An "infidel" Quaker (anti-Christian), he was opposed by Democrats who sought to keep him out of the legislature on account of his religious beliefs. Today a little-known figure in history, Williams made his mark through his outspokenness and persistent battling for what he believed.

Originally published in 1965. The Supreme Court's momentous school desegregation decision of 1954 was a postmortem victory for Albion Tourgée. Just fifty-eight years earlier this once-famous carpetbagger's attack on segregation was crushed in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson. His legal defeat in 1896 typified his frustrated but prophetic career. Tourgée was an idealistic Union veteran who ventured south in 1865. As an advocate of civil rights, political equality, free schools, and penal reform, he was elected to North Carolina's Constitutional Convention of 1868. Olsen records both the fierce struggles and the impressive accomplishments that filled Tourgée's fourteen years in the South. With the collapse of the Southern experiment, Tourgée was inspired to turn to fiction to express his convictions. A Fool's Errand by One of the Fools and Bricks without Straw were classics of their day, providing absorbing accounts and defenses of radical Reconstruction. In 1879 Tourgée went north, where he renewed and extended his crusade for Negro equality by writing, lecturing, and lobbying. For many years he was the most militant and persistent advocate of racial equality in the nation. He was also a vigorous critic of the industrial age, demanding the utilization of federal power in behalf of equality, democracy, and economic justice.

During the Civil War, not all Southemers were secessionists. Not all Yankees who later came south were "carpetbaggers" bent on exploiting their former foes. This book portrays exceptions to both rules - Simon Elliot Chamberlin, a Union cavalry officer who relocated to northern Virginia, and Edith Matthews, daughter of a Quaker family in Confederate Virginia. Their separate wartime experiences would deeply influence their subsequent courtship and marriage. His military career, especially with the 25* NIY. Cavalry and its defense of Washington in 1864, is set against the contemporancous experiences of young Edith and her farming family, part of a pro-Unionist enclave in Loudoun County that paid a heavy price for its support of the North. Navigating between a shared love for Virginia's Piedmont and opposition to the former secessionists return to power was not easy. After a go at running, Elliot parlayed skill as a political activist among Union veterans to become chairman of Virginia's Republican Party during Reconstruction, putting him on a collision path with an old foe, John Mosby. Later as Treasury special agent, he helped uncover corruption and fraud from the N. Y. customhouse to faraway Cuba, yet at times seemed oblivious to failings closer to home. Through it all, we get to witness first hand the Chamberlin family grapple with immense changes that beset the nation and federal government during the last decades of the 19% century.

Donna McDaniel and Vanessa Julye document three centuries of Quakers who were committed to ending racial injustices yet, with few exceptions, hesitated to invite African Americans into their Society. Addressing racism among Quakers of yesterday and today, the authors believe, is the path toward a racially inclusive community.
