Texas War Echoes From Lone Star Soil
The piece reviews Texas during the Civil War era, detailing early secession, Texas leaders like Sam Houston and Edward Clark, and postwar terror in towns such as Gainesville and Dallas. It notes fires, hangings, and mass fear, with Galveston battles, Sabine Pass defense, and Palmito Ranch as late war episodes. The account contrasts Union and Confederate actions and cites Hood and Terry units.
