On March 2, she joined the Confederate States of America. Barely a month later, Texans were fighting. Although not generally a focus of much Civil War attention, Texas and New Mexico Territory (including present-day Arizona) faced plenty of action. Many heroic actions were taken by the Hispanic soldiers, who have not gotten much recognition for their valiant efforts on behalf of the South. This book tells about the battles that took place on this Western front. Also included is an appendix that discusses the author's experiences with reenacting Civil War battles. |
