Bound advance proofs just arrived for Claude A. Clegg’s forthcoming book Troubled Ground: A Tale of Murder, Lynching, and Reckoning in the New South.  Reviews editors will begin receiving their advances this week. 

The book revisits a violent episode in the history of Salisbury, North Carolina—the author’s hometown—that made national headlines in the early twentieth century but disappeared from public consciousness over the decades.

Finished copies of Troubled Ground are scheduled to arrive from the printer in October for a November publication month.
