Texas Civil War Artifacts : A Photographic Guide to the Physical Culture of Texas Civil War Soldiers / by Richard Mather Ahlstrom. Denton, Texas : University of North Texas Press, 2008. Denton, Texas : University of North Texas Press, 2008. x ; 546 p. : ill ; 27 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. 530 - 538) and index. While there are similar volumes that have examined 'dug' artifacts on the national level, so little has been done on Texas that Ahlstrom's volume constitutes a groundbreaking product. The book offers the viewer an opportunity to see many objects that are so 'locked-away' in private hands as to not be available outside the close community of collectors. The chapter on pistols is worth the price of the book by itself. 20090916. Confederate States of America Army Equipment Pictorial works. Material culture Texas History 19th century Pictorial works.
