The Dukes of Durham, 1865–1929
Autor Robert F. Durdenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 ian 1987
Washington Duke, as a small, land-owning yeoman farmer, was typical of the great majority class not only in ante-bellum North Carolina but in the South as a whole. Only after the war, when he and his sons emerged as large-scale industrialists and philanthropists, did the Dukes become atypical. Their story is, then, both agricultural and industrial, both Southern and national. Born North Carolinians, they moved onto a national, even global, stage. Yet all the while they kept deep roots, as well as vast investments of capital, in the Old North State, and they poured many millions into philanthropy, largely in the two Carolinas. Based largely on manuscript sources, many of them hitherto unused, this is the first study of the Duke family. The "New South," as recent historians have told us, may not have been so new--but it was certainly different in important ways, and the Dukes loomed large among those who helped to make it so.
