The Texas Civil War Centennial Commission has long felt the need for a
booklet setting forth a brief history of Texas' participation in the
Civil War and the Confederacy. Many requests for such a publication have
come from schools, organizations and individuals.
We are proud to present "Texas in the Civil War" and feel that it will
lead to an understanding of the true story of this period of Texas
history.
We are especially indebted to Dr. Allan C. Ashcraft, who prepared "Texas
in the Civil War" at no cost to our Commission. Mr. James Wilkins of
Tyler contributed the art work. A chronology appears on page 45 and was
prepared by the Committee on Chronology. Professor John T. Duncan of the
Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas served as chairman.
This publication is dedicated as a memorial to all Texans who served in
the Armed Forces of the Confederate States of America.
