Summary: Interesting Subject, Disorganized Presentation
Comment: You can probably find no more colorful soldiers than those representing the Confederacy from Texas. Ms. Bailey presents an interesting overview of these individuals, often overlooked as they were confined to the obscure Trans-Mississippi department. The presentation of this material, however, seemed to be somewhat disjointed with much content seeming to repeat rather often. I felt that there was so much more to learn about these intriguing and colorful individuals that could have been more thoroughly investigated, even given the restrictive limitations of this introductory overview. Furthermore, a few inaccuracies exist, such as with the illustration presented for David Dixon Porter, which in reality is actually a picture of his brother, William D. "Dirty" Dixon. Being confused for his brother would have created much consternation to David Dixon, as William Dixon was often a source of great anxiety and concern for the Dixon family. Nonetheless, for a quick review of Texan Cavalry participation in the Civil War, especially that of the Trans-Mississippi Confederacy, this title serves satisfactorily as a basic beginning point, prior to more in-depth examinations.
