Summary: all you ever wanted to know about slave badges
Review: this is the ultimate scholarly work on slave badges, a unique product of our slaveholding past. The book is thorough and easy to read. In it, you will find everything you could possibly want to know about badges and their uses.

I recommend it for Civil War buffs who want to add some marginalia to their discussions and to historical writers who want to add detail to their work. Anyone visiting historic Charleston will also find the information about fraudulent badges essential to their souvenir shopping. Plus, you may decide to bring your metal detector into the city from the beach, because that's how these valuable artifacts are usually found.
