Just a note to let everyone know that Steve Mayeaux's book "Earthen Walls, Iron Men" is out - I just got my copy yesterday from Univ. of Tenn. Press. This probably has more previously unpublished Trans-Mississippi Confederate history that anything in the past five or ten years. It is very well written and exhaustively researched. The book has several appendices that are full of obscure info on Texans and Texas regiments as related to Fort DeRussy and the Red River Campaign. Congratulations Steve!
