TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Manhood, Race, Failure, and Reconciliation: Charles Francis Adams Jr. and the American Civil War JO - New England quarterly A1 - DeGruccio, Michael SP - 636 EP - 675 VL - 81 IS - 4 N2 - This narrative about Charles Francis Adams Jr. sheds light on the intersections among manhood, race, failure, and self-making in the Civil War era.
