True tales about the underground of secret societies, prison escapes and local police actions illustrate th... View more info

Army was surrendered to the militia in Texas. The Beginning and the End tells the dramatic story of these events, largely ignored in Civil War histories, and describes the Confederacy's other war preparations. It relates how, without guidance from the floundering Buchanan administration, a decisive army lieutenant saved Fort Pickens at Pensacola in January, while a naval commodore was court-martialed fo...
