Why read it?
1 author picked Lone Star Blue and Gray as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book includes 16 important essays by prominent Texas historians exploring a wide variety of themes relating to Texas and the war.

If you are interested in Texas history, this book is essential reading. I find myself returning to its pages again and again.
From Ed's list on Civil War Texas.
