Much of the Civil War west of the Mississippi was a war of waiting
for action, of foraging already stripped land for an army that
supposedly could provision itself, and of disease in camp, while
trying to hold out against Union pressure. There were none of the
major engagements that characterized the conflict farther east.
Instead, small units of confederate cavalry and infantry skirmished
with Federal forces in Arkansas, Missouri, and Louisiana, trying to
hold the western Confederacy together. The many units of Texans who
joined this fight had a second objective - to keep the enemy out of
their home state by placing themselves ""between the enemy and
Texas."" Historian Anne J. Bailey studies one Texas unit, Parsons's
Cavalry Brigade, to show how the war west of the Mississippi was
fought. Historian Norman D. Brown calls this ""the definitive study
of Parsons's Cavalry Brigade; the story will not need to be told
again."" Exhaustively researched and written with literary grace,
""Between the Enemy and Texas"" is a ""must"" book for anyone
interested in the role of mounted troops in the Trans-Mississippi
Department.
