Book Description
This is the story of a regiment of Southern patriots fighting in defense of their homes and families in the War for Southern Independence. Most of them were ordinary East Texas farmers who performed great feats of physical endurance, fought in some of the bloodiest battles of the war and became one of the premier fighting regiments of the legendary Walker's Texas Division of the Confederate Army. These Texans helped turn back major Federal Army invasions in Louisiana at the Battle of Bayou Bourbeau, the Battle of Mansfield, the Battle of Pleasant Hill and the Battle of Jenkin's Ferry, thus saving their home state of Texas from the kind of death and destruction visited on so many other Southern states.

Book Description
John Bell Hood, a native of Kentucky bred on romantic notions of the Old South and determined to model himself on Robert E. Lee, had a tragic military career, no less interesting for being calamitous. After conspicuous bravery in leading a Texas brigade, he rose in the ranks to become the youngest of the full generals of the Confederacy. The misfortune in store for Hood, a far better fighter than a strategist, illustrates the strain and risks of high command. One of the lasting images to come out of the Civil War is that of the one-legged General Hood strapped in his saddle, leading his men in a hopeless counter-offensive against Sherman's march on Atlanta. In this prize-winning book Richard M. McMurry spares no details of Hood's ultimate "complete and disastrous failure," but he is concerned to do justice to one of the most maligned and misunderstood figures in Civil War history.

Book Description
A description of the events that led to the climax and eventual demise of the British campaigns in the Southern theater during the Revolutionary War. The introductory chapter presents the British and Hessian employment of the eighteenth century European method of warfare and the ways it contrasted with the colonial army's diverse and constantly changing fighting styles. The subsequent nine chapters detail the principal military efforts of the British in the South, their capture of seaports, movement in the backcountry, and the critical winter campaign of 1780-81. This almost forgotten campaign and its trilogy of intense clashes at Guilford Court House, Cowpens, and Kings Mountain proved pivotal to American independence. The leadership of the armies isolated in the backcountry and left to their own resources for survival is addressed. The British profiles include the admirably courageous direction of Lord Charles Cornwallis, his morally questionable but valorous cavalry commander Banastre Tarleton, as well as a cadre of impressive young officers such as Webster, Stuart, O'Hara, Hall, and Ewall. Swisher's profiles of the Southern colonial army details the genius strategies of Maj.Gen. Nathaneal Greene and the astute backwoods tactical abilities of Daniel Morgan at Cowpens.

Book Description
This is the history of one of the finest bodies of Confederate infantry in the War for Southern Independence. General Kirby Smith and Lieutenant General Richard Taylor considered Randal's Texas Brigade to be the best infantry brigade in the Trans-Mississippi West. The brigade was principally made up of the 11th Texas Infantry Regiment, 14th Texas Infantry Regiment, the 28th Texas Cavalry (Dismounted) and the 6th Battalion ( Gould's) Texas Infantry. It fought in such major Trans-Mississippi Department battles, in all or part, as the battles of Bayou Bourbeau, Mansfield, Pleasant Hill, all in Louisiana, and Jenkins' Ferry in Arkansas. The men of Randal's Texas Brigade played a major roll in keeping Texas largely free of the destruction wrought on other Southern states in the war.

Book Description
The document above is from the Mowbray Collection at the Edward H. Nabb Center for Delmarva History and Culture at Salisbury University in Maryland. It is from a large cache of documents discovered by Ms. Elinor Mowbray in her house in South Carolina and forms the foundation around which this book is assembled. A receipt dated April 8, 1861 that might seem but a rather unimportant item concerning a farmer that needed his gun repaired back in mid-19th century. But, there is something much more ominous if we dig deeper into the history of the receipt. In the four months leading up to April 8 in 1861, seven states had passed resolutions of secession from the Union and in the several months to follow, six more would follow suit. This was a time of turmoil in our nation's history and everyone was preparing for war and, Private Young H.E. Hitch was making sure that his gun was in the proper working order to be able to address the inevitability of what was to come. Private Hitch served for his cause and died in the process. This "unimportant" old receipt holds MUCH significance in the life of the Hitch family and, indeed, even the life of this nation. Private Hitch would serve for Company I of the 16th South Carolina Volunteer Infantry and would eventually be killed in that service near Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia on June 19, 1864 when his last words upon getting struck in the head by a Union minie ball were, "Oh Lordy." He was a farmer, friend to many, husband and father. Fortunately for us, he exchanged many correspondences with his wife, sons and other friends during his service that survive to this day. From these, we get unprecedented insight not only into the Hitch family, but also the macro-level happenings of Company I and his fellow soldiers in the 16th South Carolina. We glimpse the realities of family life in the south during the War Between The States and the economic frailties that resulted. We also get to observe the broader aspects of what it was like to be a part of the 16th South Carolina as it performed its mission throughout the southern theatre all through the war. Join us as we take a time machine back to the southern United States in the times leading up to and during the Civil War through the eyes of a South Carolina farmer and soldier and his family and friends.
