[Illustration: ★ TEXAS ★ CIVIL WAR CENTENNIAL COMMISSION]
The Texas Civil War Centennial Commission has long felt the need for a booklet setting forth a brief history of Texas’ participation in the Civil War and the Confederacy. Many requests for such a publication have come from schools, organizations and individuals.
We are proud to present “Texas in the Civil War” and feel that it will lead to an understanding of the true story of this period of Texas history.
We are especially indebted to Dr. Allan C. Ashcraft, who prepared “Texas in the Civil War” at no cost to our Commission. Mr. James Wilkins of Tyler contributed the art work. A chronology appears on page 45 and was prepared by the Committee on Chronology. Professor John T. Duncan of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas served as chairman.
