Over the next twenty years, they will navigate Reconstruction politics and social upheaval to found the University of the South. Told from eight perspectives--freed slaves, Confederate veterans, widows, students--These Hallowed Halls is an epic saga about building a university that has lasted for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1860 by Episcopal Clergy, the school's mission of providing an education to Southern elites is destroyed along with the rest of planter society in the ensuing war.

Meanwhile, the freed slaves struggle to maintain their newfound rights against the Old South as they help rebuild. Widows seek a second chance at life by running boarding houses while students come to grips with the impact of the war on their parents. Between them all they must discover a new identity that does not involve slavery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet during one of the most turbulent times in American history, These Hallowed Halls is a work of historical fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirk Battle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 164237945X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781642379457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gatekeeper Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.27d","brand":"Kirk Battle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995862761727,"sku":"9781642379457","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_06487100-edd0-4062-a28d-74cf9a7f0c3d.jpg?v=1683338298","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/these-hallowed-halls-kirk-battle-9781642379457","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
