Description: Texans fought in every theater of the Civil War, from Gettysburg to Shiloh to Pea Ridge and Glorieta Pass, and also helped prevent Federal invasion of their home state.

The Civil War presented the first major opportunity for Americans to photograph these fighting men and the places they battled and to create an extensive visual record of war. By carefully matching available written sources to the 250 photographs, the authors have created a unique opportunity for the reader to see the war on a very human scale.

Centering on the common soldier, Portraits of Conflict: A Photographic History of Texas in the Civil War, tells the stories of the actual people, rich and poor, whose lives were changed forever by the nation's great drama.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 371-374) and index.
