‎Horse Sweat and Powder Smoke: The First Texas Cavalry in the Civil War‎

‎College Station TX: Texas A & M University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1999. First Edition. Hardcover. Bumped corner on back board. Protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. Cream cloth with title and author on spine in gold . 229 pages. Texas A & M University Military History Series No. 66. The 1st Texas Cavalry Regiment also known as the 1st Texas Mounted Rifles was Texas' first contribution of soldiers to the Civil War. The regiment was the first Confederate unit organized in Texas and the longest to serve participating in Indian skirmishes on the frontier as well as in full battles against the Union. In Horse Sweat and Powder Smoke Stanley S. McGowen describes and honors one of the most unique and successful military units in Texas history. He provides the first complete history of the 1st Texas Cavalry Regiment documenting their origins from the Confederate Committee on Public Safety's request for mounted units to the appointment of Henry McCulloch to colonel of cavalry. McCulloch a former Texas Ranger was swift and effective at motivating his fellow Texans to arms notably Captains James B. "Buck" Barry and Thomas C. Frost. The regimental commanders McCulloch Augustus Buchel and William Yager were acknowledged for their emphasis on precise discipline and gentlemanly conduct and their training methods were valuable in that soldiers learned both cavalry and infantry maneuvers as well as saber fighting and the proper care of horses and equipment. As many commanders maintained lax rules of propriety and organization the 1st Texas Mounted Rifles remained a cohesive and loyal unit disbanding only under the proper orders. Even after as the Confederacy fell around them the troops remained steadfastly loyal to their fellow fighters. McGowen examines the vast range of territory that the unit covered including Louisiana swamps the Red River Valley along the Rio Grande as well as the Gulf Coast line. He discusses their involvement in the controversial campaign known as the Battle of the Nueces casting doubts on the common interpretation of the German immigrants sympathetic to the Union as defenseless farmers. McGowen asserts that while there was bloodshed on both sides the Germans were not the innocent victims that many historians have claimed and that the cavalry was not the bloodthirsty gang many thought. Horse Sweat and Powder Smoke clearly portrays the heroism and individuality of Texas' first mounted unit in the Civil War. By combining the history of the unit with profiles of the men who led it and who gave it its unique spirit and character as well as accounts of the battles raids and skirmishes in which the unit participated McGowen provides a valuable history of men whose recognition is long overdue from those whose homes values and way of life were defended by their actions. .

‎Columbia SC: University of South Carolina Press. As New in As New dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. Black boards and spine with title and author imprinted on spine in gold. . 344 pages. Studies in Maritime History. The Defeat of the German U-Boats explains the significance and the outcome of World War II's most important naval campaign in the European theater--the air and sea battle that ended Germany's bid to sever Allied supply lines in the Atlantic. David Syrett's comprehensive account offers a detailed analysis of the effort to stop German U-boat attacks on Allied merchant vessels which by 1943 ranked as the Allies' top priority in their strategy to defeat Hitler's forces. Syrett argues that the Germans were unable to match Allied communication technological and tactical advances and that the Allies prevailed largely because of their skill in utilizing the material and intelligence resources at their disposal. Beginning with a detailed description of the U-boat Syrett discusses the weaponry developed by the Allies to stop this destructive craft. He uses intelligence information--released decades after the war--to plot the progression of each Allied convoy German U-boat assault and Allied response. Crediting the Allied victory with keeping Britain in the war and making possible the 1944 invasion of northwest Europe Syrett emphasizes the Battle of the Atlantic's pivotal role in determining the war's outcome. .

‎Battle on the Bay: The Civil War Struggle for Galveston‎

‎Austin TX: University of Texas Press. Fine. 1998. First Edition Thus. Trade Paperback. 241 pages. The Civil War history of Galveston is one of the last untold stories from America's bloodiest war despite the fact that Galveston was a focal point of hostilities throughout the conflict. As other Southern ports fell to the Union Galveston emerged as one of the Confederacy's only lifelines to the outside world. When the war ended in 1865 Galveston was the only major port still in Confederate hands. In this beautifully written narrative history Ed Cotham draws upon years of archival and on-site research as well as rare historical photographs drawings and maps to chronicle the Civil War years in Galveston. His story encompasses all the military engagements that took place in the city and on Galveston Bay including the dramatic Battle of Galveston in which Confederate forces retook the city on New Year's Day 1863. Cotham sets the events in Galveston within the overall conduct of the war revealing how the city's loss was a great strategic impediment to the North. Through his pages pass major figures of the era as well as ordinary soldiers sailors and citizens of Galveston whose courage in the face of privation and danger adds an inspiring dimension to the story. .

‎The Battle of Glorieta Pass: A Gettysburg in the West March 26-28 1862‎

‎Albuquerque NM: University of New Mexico Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1998. Stated First Edition. Hardcover. Some sunning to front cover; sticker over previous owner's name and address on free back page . Protected in a removable archival cover. . 176 pages. There used to be a roadside marker at Glorieta Pass that gave a brief account of the fighting there in March 1862 and concluded with the bold statement "The battle saved the West for the Union." This book offers a careful reassessment of that claim and of the significance of this military engagement. Over 135 years have passed since Union and Confederate troops fired on each other at Glorieta. By placing the Civil War in New Mexico in historical perspective this book shows how the Battle of Glorieta Pass was more a tragedy than a triumph. All battles - indeed all wars - have some elements of futility and needless suffering but the authors conclude that Glorieta seems to have had more than its share. The outcome of the New Mexico campaign had already been decided; thus Glorieta Pass might best be viewed as a bloody epilogue to a star-crossed campaign . University of New Mexico Press hardcover‎

‎Flags of Our Fathers‎

‎New York: Bantam. As New. 2001. Trade Paperback. 400 pages. In February 1945 American Marines plunged into the surf at Iwo Jima — and into history. Through a hail of machine-gun and mortar fire that left the beaches strewn with comrades they battled to the island’s highest peak. And after climbing through a landscape of hell itself they raised a flag. Now the son of one of the flag-raisers has written a powerful account of six very different young men who came together in a moment that will live forever. To his family John Bradley never spoke of the photograph or the war. But after his death at age seventy his family discovered closed boxes of letters and photos. In <I>Flags of Our Fathers</I> James Bradley draws on those documents to retrace the lives of his father and the men of Easy Company. Following these men’s paths to Iwo Jima James Bradley has written a classic story of the heroic battle for the Pacific’s most crucial island — an island riddled with Japanese tunnels and 22000 fanatic defenders who would fight to the last man. Few books ever have captured the complexity and furor of war and its aftermath as well as <I>Flags of Our Fathers</I>. A penetrating epic look at a generation at war this is history told with keen insight enormous honesty and the passion of a son paying homage to his father. It is the story of the difference between truth and myth the meaning of being a hero and the essence of the human experience of war. . Bantam paperback‎
