I just picked up Emancipation, the Union Army, and the Reelection of Abraham LincolnExpired Image Removed by Jonathan W. White (Louisiana State University Press, 2014). Hardcover, appendix, tables, notes, bibliography, index. Pages main/total:184/290. ISBN:9780807154571 $39.95.

It claims to turn the whole conventional wisdom on its head regarding the soldier vote in 1864. I am about a quarter of the way through, having purchased it yesterday. So far a lot of discussion of the political uses of furloughs so Republican soldiers could go home to vote in 1863. Interesting, but I assume the big stuff is still fifty pages off.
