Atm I am currently re-reading “Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans” written in approx 1968 by T.R. Fehrenbach which is one of my favorite books on Texas history. It is an excellent history book about Texas since it was first inhabited through the early 20th Century and does go over Texans’ experiences in the pre-Civil War to Reconstruction periods pretty well. Not super detailed, but quite adequate. As far as Civil War era books, I would have to go to my parents house to get the title names because my dad has a lot of old history books from the 1950’s-1960’s but I cannot give you specific title names/authors off the top of my head.

In the meantime, a good audio mix stream, which is approx 3 hrs is, https://dawsontime.com/confederate-memorial-day/

This audio stream is a good start.

I also read a lot of articles from: https://www.abbevilleinstitute.org/

Ryan Dawson covers Civil War content once in a while & brings in his brother Scott. Their online content & videos can be found at: https://www.ancreport.com/ and in the above link “dawsontime.com”

Hope that helps.
