Texas, the Dark Corner of the Confederacy: Contemporary Accounts of the Lone Star State in the Civil War (Third Edition)
"Gallaway has assembled eye-witness accounts of various phases, both military and civilian, of the great conflict... [He] has not neglected such important and well-known Texas Confederate incidents as the Twiggs giveaway of the Federal forts in February 1861, Dick Dowling's great victory at Sabine Pass in September 1863, and the battle of Galveston... Along with these famous Civil War events in the Lone Star state the editor has judiciously woven in accounts of the organization of Texas military units, blockade running and the mass hanging of Unionists at Gainesville... An outstanding compilation."oCivil War History "A splendid introduction to the period."oSouthwestern Historical Quarterly
