Index to Volume 117

COVER: Charles Hoffbauer's portrayal of a heroic cavalry charge led by Confederate general J. E. B. Stuart in the Autumn panel of the Four Seasons of the Confederacy mural at Battle Abbey in Richmond, Virginia, captured the romantic spirit that dominated the southern view of the Civil War in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This Lost Cause school of interpretation appeared in grade and high school textbooks in Virginia’s schools in the 1950s and 60s. The controversy generated by those books during the civil rights era is the subject of the article by Adam Wesley Dean that begins on page 318. (Virginia Historical Society, accession no. 2005.340.c)
