The many units of Texans who joined the Civil War had a second objective - to keep the enemy out of their home state by placing themselves. This book studies a Texas unit, Parsons's Cavalry Brigade, to show how the war west of the Mississippi was fought. It is for those interested in the role of mounted troops in the Trans-Mississippi Department.

Most Southerners who fought in the Civil War were native born, white, and Confederate. However, thousands with other ethnic back-grounds also took a stand - and not always for the South. This book recounts the wartime experiences of the region's German Americans, Native Americans, and African Americans.
