About the Book

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.

About the Author :
Charles D. Grear is professor of history at Central Texas College. He is the author of Why Texans Fought in the Civil War, and the editor of several collections about the Civil War.

Review :
Meticulously researched, artfully written, and historiographically exciting, this book will set a new standard for historical literature dealing with Texas and the Civil War."" - Choice ""Texans dealt with many of the same stresses endured in other parts of the South, but they also encountered unique challenges associated with their frontier location. Grear has put together a volume that reveals both of these aspects of the Texas experience. The contributors highlight both the distinctively Southern and the uniquely Texan experience of the Civil War and its aftermath in the state, and they ask questions and make conclusions that are sure to provoke future research into the way Texans both affected and were affected by the war."" - H-Net ""A satisfying mix of essays. all models of coherent argument and deep research [offering] a suggestion of how historians could, and should, integrate the history of Texas more thoroughly into the history of the Civil War."" - Military History of the West ""Charles D. Grear has assembled an all-star cast of great minds and excellent writers who have chimed in on the role of Texas in the Civil War and how that experience shaped the future of the state. The result is a perfect blend of topics, tone, and tenor that will enlighten students of Lone Star history in particular and Civil War history in general for years to come. The Fate of Texas is an important contribution to the national story."" - Donald S. Frazier, author of Blood and Treasure: Confederate Empire in the Southwest
