Reid Mitchell the Vacant Chair: The Northern Soldier Leaves Home
New York Oxford 1993 0195078934 / 9780195078930 Hard Cover Very Good Good
"A tidy and compact study....Offer[s] refreshing insight into an understanding of how the north persevered in its struggle toward ultimate victory and who the South's resolve to resist eventually disintegrated....The Vacant Chair reflects the kind of solid scholarship the Civil War era needs."--Journal of American Culture "The book is full of well-chosen anecdotes, character sketches and vignettes which give the war a peculiar immedicay to the reader. One cannot help but feel personally involved....[T]his is an excellent book."--KLIATT, November 1995 "Many excellent anecdotes....Truly fascinating."--The New York Times Book Review "This sensitive, incisive work comes closer than anything I have read to exploring what the Northern soldier believed he was fighting for and why he was ready to die for the Union."--George M. Fredrickson, author of White Supremacy and The Inner Civil War "Reid Mitchell breaks new ground in this imaginative contribution....Combining the insights of psychology, women's history and social history, The Vacant Chair accomplishes the difficult. It offers new perspectives on an old topic. Soldiering expands beyond shouldering a rifle and following the colonel's order in Mitchell's excellent volume."--Jean Baker, author of Mary Todd Lincoln
