This review is from: The Third Texas Cavalry in the Civil War (Paperback)
Retired Oklahoma State University professor of history provides background of the Civil War as well as careful use of sources to make an altogether readable investigation related specifically to the Texas cavalry unit in which his ancestor fought. Hale shows how the War was whipped up by agitators, dealing especially with Texas activity, and follows the successes and failures of the leadership both before and during the war. Since the Third Texas Cavalry was part of what became known as Ross's Brigade, the happenings to the Third apply generally to its accompanying units, the Sixth Texas Cavalry, the Ninth Texas Cavalry, and the Twenty-Seventh Texas Cavalry.
