Description: The Trans-Mississippi in the Civil War has been largely neglected and Terrell's Texas Cavalry contains some fine research in this area. The book is an excellent history of the Texas Calvalry Regiments of Terrell, Likens, Buchel, and Herbert who served in Texas and fought General Banks in the Louisiana Red River Campaign. Without them the Confederates could not have turned back General Banks.
