Barnes Fletcher Lathrop was born on
Marhc 29, 1909 in Morgan City, Louisiana. He earned degrees from the Rice
Institute (Bachelor of Arts, 1930), the University of Chicago (Master of Arts,
1931), and The University of Texas (Ph.D., 1945). In 1935 Lathrop accepted a
teaching fellowship at The University of Texas at Austin, where he worked under
Charles W. Ramsdell, a leading historian of the Confederacy. Lathrop was
promoted to instructor in the History department in 1939, and would go on to
make a career at The University of Texas that spanned over forty years. Lathrop
taught various subjects during his tenure but he specialized in the American
South between 1828 and 1877.
Lathrop published one book, a score of
articles and edited documents, and some two dozen book reviews. Most of his
publications clustered in the areas of methodology and southern history. His
book
Migration Into East Texas, 1835-1860: A study from
the United States Census represented a path-breaking effort to exploit
the manuscript census returns as a source for historical research. Several of
Lathrop's articles grew out of extensive work on a group of Louisiana sugar
planters and their families during the Civil War era.
