New Book on Randal's Texas Infantry Brigade in the War for Southern Independence



This is the history of one of the finest bodies of Confederate infantry in the War for Southern Independence.
     General Kirby Smith and Lieutenant General Richard Taylor considered Randal's Texas Brigade to be one of the finest infantry brigades in the Trans-Mississippi Department.
     The brigade was principally made up of the 11th Texas Infantry, 14th Texas Infantry, 28th Texas Cavalry (Dismounted), and the 6th Battalion Texas Cavalry (Dismounted).
     It fought in the major Trans-Mississippi Department battles, in all or part, including the Battle of Bayou Bourbeau, the Battle of Mansfield, The Battle of Pleasant Hill, and the Battle of Jenkin's Ferry.
     The men of Randal's Texas Brigade play a major roll in keeping Texas largely free from kind of destruction inflicted on other Confederate states.
