(54,362 posts)2. I read her biography of James Henry Hammond
It's excellent, not just a traditional biography but an examination of the Antebellum South.
Here is a piece on her from the website of the National Endowmen for the Humanities: http://www.neh.gov/about/awards/jefferson-lecture/drew-gilpin-faust-biography
