Grandt (review)","authors":"Ethan Mannon","doi":"10.1353/WVH.2018.0013","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/WVH.2018.0013","url":null,"abstract":"Reid sets the historical context with his introduction. He describes Wilder’s sources. He reminds the reader, referring to recent works by Bollet (5), Humphreys (6), and Devine (7), that Union Army medicine during the Civil War had its problems, but also catalyzed subsequent improvements in medicine and public health. During his brief service as a medical cadet, Wilder was at the center of much of this. Reid adds value with his considerable digging into the people Wilder mentions. No name goes without annotation. Reid has surfaced an interesting fragment of Civil War history and the historiography is well done, but, for me, what is missing is the biographical and social context of Wilder’s story. Reading the book, I thought of Osler’s 1909 Alabama Student (8) and Nolen’s 1970 Making of a Surgeon (9), masterful reflections on life, society, and physician learning. Wilder tried to go there, but Reid does not help him make the journey. Reid fails to mention Wilder’s cadet experiences that were included in The Medical and Surgical History of the War (10, 11), which would have placed them and him in the broader medical environment. He only briefly presents his subject’s biographical trajectory and he does not explore how young Wilder, with his understanding of anatomy, conservative therapies, and sensitivity to human suffering, exemplified his own persona or the medical issues of the times. Reid has added another small asteroid to the vast universe of Civil War studies, but it will be up to the next writer to mine the rock’s hidden value. John M.

The work also situates the case study within a broader national narrative. This strength is a particular asset during the work’s final chapters which trace West Charlotte’s resegregation and institutional decline amidst the backdrop of the 1980s conservative resurgence. Unfortunately, Grundy often gets distracted in this national narrative and leaves readers grasping for a more complex understanding of West Charlotte itself. This problem is compounded by the work’s longer chronology. Grundy analyzed a period of roughly seventy-five years in less than two hundred pages. While impressive, this ultimately hindered Grundy’s ability to dig deeply enough in her analysis. As a work of scholarly inquiry seeking to contribute to the robust historiography on the Civil Rights Movement, Grundy struggled in a few critical areas. Throughout the study, Grundy overly relies on a number of oral histories she conducted. While oral histories are undeniably a rich primary source, the difficulties of oral history demand that they be studied in tandem with a plethora of other sources. Most of the individuals interviewed for the first section of the book were seventy to eighty years old and reminiscing about their elementary-school experience at West Charlotte. This is particularly a problem when she allows students to speak through rose-colored glasses about their experience in segregated schools, with little interpretation. Grundy addresses this issue in her methodology section, but this discussion should have been more overt throughout her analysis. Grundy’s work will not surprise students of the Civil Rights Movement or the history of race in the United States. Yet her analysis of the complexity of busing, the evolution of rights rhetoric surrounding whites, the downfalls of urban-renewal programs, and even the internal segregation of integrated schools does an impeccable job making these scholarly discussions approachable to a broader audience. It also interprets them within a longer institutional chronology that assists readers in grasping the ongoing impact of historical decisions.
