Fighting for Southern Independence: History of the 11th Texas Infantry Regiment (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781723741791)

This is the story of a regiment of Southern patriots fighting in defense of their homes and families in the War for Southern Independence. Most of them were ordinary East Texas farmers who performed great feats of physical endurance, fought in some of the bloodiest battles of the war and became one of the premier fighting regiments of the legendary Walker's Texas Division of the Confederate Army. These Texans helped turn back major Federal Army invasions in Louisiana at the Battle of Bayou Bourbeau, the Battle of Mansfield, the Battle of Pleasant Hill and the Battle of Jenkin's Ferry, thus saving their home state of Texas from the kind of death and destruction visited on so many other Southern states.
