New York, NY, U.S.A.: Oxford University Press, Incorporated, 1993. First Printing . Hard Back. Fine/Very Good. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2. 201 Pages Indexed. In many ways, the Northern soldier in the Civil War fought as if he had never left home. On campsites and battlefields, the Union volunteer adapted to military life with attitudes shaped by networks of family relationships, in units of men from the same hometown. Understanding these links between the homes the troops left behind and the war they had to fight offers critical insight into how they thought, fought, and perservered through four bloody years of combat. Mitchell draws on the letters, diaries, and memoirs of common soldiers to show how mid-nineteenth-century ideas and images of the home and family shaped the Union soldier's approach to everything from military discipline to battlefield bravery. For hundreds of thousands of boys, as they called themselves, the Union army was an extension of their home and child hood experiences.

Vacationland collects these real-life wanderings, and through them you learn of the horror of freshwater clams, the evolutionary purpose of the mustache, and which animals to keep as pets and which to kill with traps and poison. There is also some advice on how to react when the people of coastal Maine try to sacrifice you to their strange god.

Philadelphia, Pennsylania: Lanterfish Press, 2018. Assumed First Addition . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5 1/4" x 8. Norcross, Michael - Cover Design. 231 Pages. In the house on the hill, there lives a vampire. But not of the sexy, mysterious, or sparkling kind. The vampire Gideon prefers to drink nearly expired blood from the local morgue while watching over the humans around him--humans he calls "children," because when you're as old as he is, everyone else does seem like a child. And so many of these children are prepared to throw their lives away over problems that, in Gideon's view, appear rather trivial. He sets about trying to fix them by means of an unofficial, do-it-yourself suicide hotline. He's sure that he's making a difference, maybe even righting the mistakes of his past. Then one day a troubled young girl calls, and his (undead) life gets turned upside down. Before he knows it, he's got a surly, tech-addicted teenage roommate--and, at long last, he… Read More
