Southern historian George Tindall has died at 85. Ralph Luker has a very nice tribute to him (and great teaching stuff!) at Cliopatria. I remember being introduced to a wonderful stylist in The Emergence of the New South, 1913-1945 (1967). When I initially read it, the first chapter (“In the House of their Fathers”) was the most subtle and damning indictment of Woodrow Wilson I had ever seen. Just now, I reread Bennett Wall’s review in the American Historical Review, and while it’s a bit effervescent to me, Wall’s right about Tindall’s writing.
