Choice Outstanding Academic Title

Texas has often been overlooked in Civil War scholarship, but this examination shows that the Lone Star State--though definitely unusual--was decidedly Southern. Eleven noted historians examine the ways the civil war touched every aspect of life in Texas and approach the subject from varied perspectives--military, social, and cultural history; public history; and historical memory--to provide a greater understanding of the roles of women and slaves during the war, and how veterans and the aftermath of loss helped pave the way for the Texas of today.
