secession, thus "reluctant rebels"; the author has
published other works on the Civil War and other topics.

Texas; much of the content is direct quotes. The author, a retired social
studies teacher has been a columnist for the Cleburne Times-Review since
retiring about ten years ago and wrote a series of articles for the newspaper
about the individuals. I edited the articles for publication as a book.
