About This Item
Charlotesville: University of Virginia Press, 2013. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 182pp including notes, bibliography, and index. Very Good hardcover in a very good dust jacket. In Rot, Riot, and Rebellion, award-winning journalists Rex Bowman and Carlos Santos offer a dramatic re-creation of the universitys early struggles. Political enemies, powerful religious leaders, and fundamentalist Christians fought Jefferson and worked to thwart his dream. Rich students, many from southern plantations, held a sense of honor and entitlement that compelled them to resist even minor rules and regulations. They fought professors, townsfolk, and each other with guns, knives, and fists. In response, professors armed themselvesoften with good reason: one was horsewhipped, others were attacked in their classrooms, and one was twice the target of a bomb. The university was often broke, and Jeffersons enemies, crouched and ready to pounce, looked constantly for reasons to close its doors..
