Book excerpt: Richard Kilbourne has produced a comprehensive study of the credit system in one Louisiana parish in the antebellum and postbellum periods of the Civil War.

This book's primary concern is the role of slave property in collateralizing credit relationships and planter perceptions regarding slaves as financial assets.
