Publisher's Synopsis
"From the unbridled lands of East Texas, tenacious men with diverse backgrounds came together to form the Twenty-Second Texas Infantry. Also known as Hubbard's regiment, families synonymous with the Texas Revolution joined the ranks of politicians, attorneys, farmers, and teachers. Many championed Southern values whereas some campaigned for Northern agendas. Yet, most were Texan by choice and they sought to defend their homes. The regiment's stories of triumph and sorrow intertwined with American history as the men drudged across the unforgiving lands west of the Mississippi River. They fought in the bloody encounters of Fort DeRussy, Mansfield, Pleasant Hill, and Jenkins' Ferry as life-threatening diseases complicated their service. Their ambitious marches forever tied them to the story. of Texas during the Civil War."--Back cover.
