In the House of the Serpent Handler unfolds in ways that could not have been predicted. Julia Duin intimately recounts the story of serpent handlers raised in an Appalachian “religious tradition where their ritualistic expression of faith is more ridiculed than understood. “When she began her journey, little could she have known that pastors Mack Wolford and Jamie Coots would suffer fatal bites, and their deaths would lead to the story of a young handler, Andrew Hamblin, who proves to be a tragic figure of youth, social media, and a fall from grace. In the shadow of two deaths, Hamblin’s collapse is doubly sad, but his story sheds a modern light on a misunderstood religious practice.” —Ralph Hood, coauthor of Them That Believe and Handling Serpents

In the House of the Serpent Handler A Story of Faith and Fleeting Fame in the Age of Social Media

JULIA DUIN

In the House of the Serpent Handler offers an intimate and engrossing look at the latest generation of Pentecostal believers who “take up” venomous snakes as a test of their religious faith. Focusing on several preachers and their families in six Appalachian states, journalist Julia C. Duin explores the impact that such twenty-first-century phenomena as social media and “reality television” have had on rituals long practiced in obscurity. As Duin reveals, the mortal snakebite suffered by pastor Mack Wofford in 2012 marked Paper ISBN 978-1-62190-375-8 the passing of the torch to younger preachers Jamie Coots and Andrew Hamblin, who were eISBN 978-1-62190-376-5 featured in the 2013 series Snake Salvation on the National Geographic Channel.

However, Coots’s own death in Journalism 2014 was widely reported after the TV series was canceled, while Hamblin, who emerges as the central figure in the book, was arrested and tried after a shooting incident involving his estranged wife. His hopes of becoming a serpent-handling superstar seemingly dashed, Hamblin spent several months in prison, emerging more determined than ever to keep to the faith. By the end of the narrative, he has begun a new church where he can pass on the ALSO OF INTEREST tradition to yet another generation. Duin’s thorough, sympathetic reporting and lively style bring the ecstatic church services she witnessed vividly to life, and through interviews and quotations from the principals’ Facebook postings, she has allowed them to express their beliefs and reveal their everyday lives in their own words. She also gives the reader an up-close view of how a reporter pursues a story and the various difficulties encountered along the way. These engrossing elements add up to a unique story of the ways in which the practitioners of a century-old custom—one that strikes most outsiders as bizarre—are adjusting to the challenges of the new millennium.

JULIA C. DUIN, the former religion editor for the Washington Times, has pub- lished articles in the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and other national Serpent and the Spirit Glenn Summerford’s Story publications. She is the author of five previous books, including, most recently, THOMAS G. BURTON Days of Fire and Glory: The Rise and Fall of a Charismatic Community. Paper ISBN 978-1-57233-246-1 $19.95t

Fearless and talented religion writer Julia Duin takes the reader to the inner sanctum of an East Tennessee serpent-handling community led by young, media-savvy preacher “Andrew Hamblin, who uses social media tools to build his brand and sustain his flock. Duin “chronicles Hamblin’s journey from his highs in raising up a growing worship community and burgeoning fame from reality television to his lows at the collapse of his serpent-handling community and the dissolution of his family.” —David Arant, professor of journalism, University of Memphis

Ephemeral by Nature Exploring the Exceptional with a Tennessee Naturalist

STEPHEN LYN BALES

In this captivating collection of twelve essays, a testament to a lifetime’s fascination with the outdoors and its myriad wonders, naturalist Stephen Lyn Bales examines a variety of flora and fauna that in one way or another can be described as “ephemeral”— that is, fleeting, short-lived, or transient. Focusing on his native East Tennessee, Bales introduces us to several oddities, including the ghost plant, a wispy vascular plant that resembles a rooster’s tail and grows mainly in areas devoid of sunlight; the Appalachian panda, an ancestor of Paper ISBN 978-1-62190-354-3 eISBN 978-1-62190-356-7 today’s red panda that wandered the region millions of years ago and whose fossil Kindle ISBN 978-1-62190-355-0 remains have only recently been discovered; and the freshwater jellyfish, a tiny $24.95t organism that is virtually invisible except for those hot summer days when clusters AVAILABLE SEPTEMBER 2017 of them bloom into shimmering “medusae,” sometimes by the thousands.

Written with insight, humor, and heart, Ephemeral by Nature is as entertaining as it is instructive.

Dangerous Waters A Photo Essay on the Tennessee Valley Authority

MICAH CASH

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), created in the 1930s during Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s sweeping New Deal governmental reforms, has long marked the landscape of the upper south and controlled the waterways that run throughout Tennessee and portions of its bordering states. Controversial even at its inception, TVA grew to become the largest public power agency in the United States, combining social welfare goals with technological innovation and regional modernization.

Photography, Tennessee Studies, In Dangerous Waters, documentary photographer Micah Cash uses his keen Environmental Studies eye to highlight the beauty of TVA’s vast architecture and brilliant engineering, but also its tenuous relationship with environmental stewardship and intermittent neglect of the social goals upon which the agency was founded. Cash illustrates TVA’s contradictions through poignant shots of the agency’s locations. He starkly captures, for instance, the artificial juxtaposition of beach sand at the shores of Douglas lake or the monumental infrastructure of South Holston, foregrounded by local gravestones. Cash’s photographs also depict the increased security measures of a post–9/11 world, as many dams, visitors’ centers, and scenic vistas are now blocked by haphazard fencing, bolt locks, and warning signs, further alienating would-be For the last century and a half, the photo essay visitors.

John Calvin Brown was a Confederate general, Tennessee politician, railroad executive, and lawyer, and yet he is little known to today’s Americans.

Goodbye Christ? Religion, Masculinity, and the New Negro Renaissance

PETER KERRY POWERS

Despite the proliferation of criticism on the cultural work of the Harlem Renaissance over the course of the past two decades, surprisingly few critics have focused on the ways in which religious contexts shaped the works of New Negro writers and artists during Printed Case ISBN 978-1-62190-373-4 eISBN 978-1-62190-374-1 that time. In Goodbye Christ? Peter Kerry Powers fills this scholarly void, exploring $55s how the intersection of race, religion, and gender during the Harlem Renaissance

AVAILABLE DECEMBER 2017 impacted the rhetoric and imagination of prominent African American writers of the early twentieth century. Literary Criticism, Religion In order to best understand the secular academic thought that arose during the Harlem Renaissance period, Powers emphasizes that readers must first understand the religious contexts from which it grew. By illustrating how religion informed the New Negro movement, and through his analysis of a range of texts, Powers delineates the ways in which New Negro writers of the early twentieth century sought to loosen the grip of Christianity on the racial imagination, thereby clearing a space ALSO OF INTEREST for their own cultural work—and for the development of a secular African American intelligentsia generally. In addition to his examination of well-known authors, including W. E. B. Du Bois, Langston Hughes, and Zora Neale Hurston, Powers also offers an illuminating perspective on lesser-known figures, including Reverdy Ransom and Frederick Cullen. In his exploration of the role of race and religion at the time, Powers employs an intersectional approach to religion and gender, and especially masculinity, in his discussion. Goodbye Christ? answers the call for a body of work that considers religion as a relevant precursor to the secular intelligentsia that grew during the Harlem Renaissance in the early 1900s. By offering a complete look at the tensions that arose between churches and Harlem Renaissance writers and artists, readers can gain a better understanding of the work that Harlem Renaissance writers undertook during Race, Manhood, and the early decades of the twentieth century.

Edward Terry Sanford A Tennessean on the U.S. Supreme Court

STEPHANIE L. SLATER

In Edward Terry Sanford: A Tennessean on the U.S. Supreme Court, Stephanie Slater uncovers the life and work of Edward Terry Sanford (1865–1930), the only Supreme Court justice who obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of Tennessee. Born and raised in Knoxville, Sanford served as an associate justice on the United States Supreme Court from 1923 until his death in 1930. He was one of only six Tennesseans to Printed Case ISBN 978-1-62190-369-7 serve on the nation’s highest Court. eISBN 978-1-62190-370-3 $65s Slater’s delineation of Sanford’s contributions to the legal profession illuminates one of Tennessee’s favorite sons whose story had, until now, been largely left in the dark. AVAILABLE JANUARY 2018 Slater frames Sanford’s personality and jurisprudence in a post-Civil War and Taft-era Biography, Tennessee Studies, context, one that helps readers better understand both the man and his contributions to Law the Supreme Court. From Slater’s important work we learn about Sanford’s early upbringing, the lasting impression a largely pro-Union East Tennessee would leave upon Sanford, his rise from a skilled lawyer to federal judge during the rapid industrialization of Knoxville and the surrounding area, and his eventual appointment to the Supreme Court. Within Sanford’s rich legacy is the pivotal role he played in writing the majority opinion in the landmark ALSO OF INTEREST 1925 case, Gitlow v. New York, a decision which became a critical legal precedent for the expansion of civil rights and civil liberties in the 1950s and 1960s. Slater provides a keen look into the life of a Knoxville native whose life and career may now be appreciated and studied by a new generation. Sanford, his character, and his life as a Tennessean on the Supreme Court are sure to intrigue legal scholars, students of Tennessee culture and history, and general audiences alike.

The Rise and Fall of the Southern Tenant Farmers Union in Arkansas

JAMES D. ROSS JR.

Founded in eastern Arkansas during the Great Depression, the Southern Tenant Farmers Union (STFU) has long fascinated historians, who have emphasized its biracial membership and the socialist convictions of its leaders, while attributing its demise to external factors, such as the mechanization of agriculture, the repression Printed Case of wealthy planters, and the indifference of New Dealers. However, as James Ross ISBN 978-1-62190-352-9 eISBN 978-1-62190-353-6 notes in this compelling revisionist history, such accounts have largely ignored the $55s perspective of the actual sharecroppers and other tenant farmers who made up the

AVAILABLE NOVEMBER 2017 union’s rank and file. Drawing on a rich trove of letters that STFU members wrote to union leaders, Southern History, Labor History government officials, and others, Ross shows that internal divisions were justas significant—if not more so—as outside causes in the union’s ultimate failure. Most important, the STFU’s fatal flaw was the yawning gap between the worldviews of its leadership and those of its members. Ross describes how, early on, STFU secretary H. L. Mitchell promoted the union as one involving many voices—sometimes in harmony, sometimes in discord—but later pushed a more simplified narrative of a few people ALSO OF INTEREST doing most of the union’s work. Struck by this significant change, Ross explores what the actual goals of the rank and file were and what union membership meant to them. “While the white leaders may have expressed a commitment to racial justice, white members often did not,” he writes. “While the union’s socialist and communist leaders may have hoped for cooperative land ownership, the members often did not.” Above all, the poor farmers who made up the membership wanted their immediate needs for food and shelter met, and they wanted to own their own land and thus determine their own futures. Moreover, while the leadership often took its inspiration from Marx, the membership’s worldview was shaped by fundamentalist, Pentecostal Christianity. In portraying such tensions and how they factored into the union’s implosion, Ross not only offers a more nuanced view of the STFU, he also makes a powerful new contribution to our understanding of the Depression-era South.

William Strickland and the Creation of an American Architecture is a significant contribution to the professional career of William Strickland and the history of architecture in the United “States. Very little has been written about Strickland, one of the most important proponents of “the Greek Revival style of architecture in the U.S. His work primarily in Philadelphia, but also elsewhere, was a major reason Greek Revival became known as the “National Style” in the first half of the nineteenth century.” —Norman R.

William Strickland and the Creation of an American Architecture

ROBERT RUSSELL

William Strickland (1788–1854) was, in his day, among the most notable architects in the United States. An erstwhile student of Benjamin Henry Latrobe and a contemporary of Robert Mills, Strickland first entered the world of architecture at a young age in Philadelphia. But given that many of Strickland’s buildings have not survived, and considering the sparse and dispersed collection of primary sources Strickland left upon his death, little Printed Case ISBN 978-1-62190-346-8 contemporary scholarship has appeared concerning Strickland’s significant contributions eISBN 978-1-62190-347-5 to the built environment of the early nineteenth century. $60s

In William Strickland and the Creation of an American Architecture, Robert AVAILABLE OCTOBER 2017 Russell does much to rectify this underrepresentation of Strickland’s notable architectural Architectural History contributions in contemporary scholarship. In this first monograph detailing Strickland’s life and works since 1950 Russell examines the architectural production of Strickland during the first half of the nineteenth century. Russell begins with the well-known Second Bank of the United States (Philadelphia)— the project that launched Strickland onto the national stage—eventually bringing his analysis to the south with an examination of the Tennessee State Capitol Building (Nashville). ALSO OF INTEREST These two monuments bookended the American Greek Revival of the nineteenth century. Russell’s careful descriptions and insightful analyses of William Strickland’s work highlight the architect’s artistic skills and contributions to American material culture over the course of fifty years. Ornamenting his examination with more than one hundred illustrations, Russell takes readers on a comprehensive journey through Strickland’s architecture. Part biography, part architectural history, William Strickland and the Creation of an American Architecture is an invaluable resource for scholars and artists alike, illustrating Strickland’s critical role in American architectural history and celebrating the icon behind buildings in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and beyond that are still admired and appreciated today.

Paintbrush for Hire The Travels of James and Emma S. Cameron, 1840–1900

Throughout the nineteenth-century, itinerant painters traveled the length and breadth of Europe and American in search of patronage. In the company of the his crupulous wife, Cloth ISBN 978-1-62190-365-9 Emma S. Cameron (1825–1907), the Scots-born James Cameron (1816–1882) sought to eISBN 978-1-62190-366-6 fulfill his ambitious dream of becoming an artist. $58s Working primarily as a landscapist and portraitist—he was also an inventor, a AVAILABLE NOVEMBER 2017 missionary, an ordained minister, a land agent, farmer, clothing merchant, and Sunday Art History school teacher—Cameron produced a small collection of paintings during the ten-year period the couple resided in East Tennessee and the American South. Driven by the wife’s lively journals, correspondence, and Civil War diary, Moffatt’s narrative details the couple’s marriage, their extended honeymoon in revolutionary Italy and, following a brief excursion in the Adirondacks, their subsequent residencies in Knoxville, Chattanooga, Memphis, Nashville, Augusta, central Mississippi, and New Orleans, between 1856 and 1868. While in Chattanooga, they settled near Col. James A. Whiteside’s fashionable summer resort, ALSO OF INTEREST Lookout Mountain Hotel, where James reigned as resident artist and Emma, reluctantly, served as the house nurse and social entertainer. In the late 1860s they lived in Maine and, after 1874, in California, where they founded separate Presbyterian churches. The book emphasizes Cameron’s painting career, the patrons who supported it, and discusses his best-known works, all of which are reproduced here. The study demonstrated how persisted while working under a cultural cloud that often devalued artistic achievement Emma’s journals reveal her to be a perceptive observer of Protestant middle class “life- on-the-run” and yields insight into historic events in the making, including the Italian Risorgimento, the American Civil War, and the settlement of America’s Western frontier. Moffatt’s detailed joint biography provides a valuable contribution to women’s studies, art history, nineteenth-century frontier expansionism, and social history.
