From the battlefront to the home front, from inside the walls of a Confederate prison to inside the homes of the women and children left at home while husbands and fathers were away at war–this book discusses how Texans experienced the Civil War. Also explored are well-known battles that took place in or near Texas. Finally, the social and cultural aspects of the war–the experiences of women, African-Americans, Union prisoners of war, and noncombatants–are analyzed.
