About this series
"Memoirs: with Special Reference to Secession and the Civil War." Notable Civil War Texans Book 1, by John H. Reagan is an inside look at pre & post Civil War Texas politics and Civil War Confederate politics by an insider.
John Reagan was an early settler in Texas and served in the US Congress from Texas, in both House and Senate, both before and after the Civil War. In addition, he was Postmaster General in Confederate President Jefferson Davis' first (and only) Cabinet. He was friendly with Davis, Vice-President Alexander Stephens as well as other highly placed Confederate politicians and army officers. From his station in the Confederate Cabinet he gives a first hand view of Confederate politics and war time decisions. He opposed, for instance, Lee's second invasion of the North that ended with the disaster at Gettysburg. Instead, he proposed that Lee feign an invasion to paralyze the Union army north of the Potomac while sending reinforcements to relieve Vicksburg, Mississippi, the loss of which modern historians consider a defeat as bad if not worse than the defeat at Gettysburg.
Reagan's account of pre & post Civil War Texas politics is also enlightening regarding the history of Texas secession thinking as well as the politics of the Texas Reconstruction period.
A must read for the student of Texas history for background material that led to the events of the momentous period from 1840-1880.
