Confederate Generals in the Trans-mississippi ― Essays on America's Civil War

American historians describe the activities of eight Confederate generals who fought west of the Mississippi River during the US Civil War--the theater that historians have neglected most. They cover Major General Earl Van Dorn: observations on a Confederate generalship in the trans-Mississippi; Hamilton Prioleau Bee of Texas; the pallbearer of the Confederacy: James Fleming Faga; Edmund Kirby Smith in 1863; Brigadier General William Robertson Boggs in Louisiana; Tom Green ascending to command in Louisiana during spring 1863; Major General John Austin Wharton: planter, lawyer, politician, and soldier; and 1864 versus 1879: Richard Taylor in fact and memory.
