Prof. James S. Humphreys, "Francis Butler Simkins: A Life "
English | ISBN: 0813032652 | 2008 | 352 pages | PDF | 2 MB
In this biography, James Humphreys takes a close look at Simkins as a man, to better understand him as a historian. He engages with Simkins’s physical and mental eccentricities-his troubled health and career stresses-and explores the extent to which the historian was shaped by the values he learned during his childhood in segregationist South Carolina.
