Does anyone know of any Civil War HF on the WESTERN theater of the war
which is somewhat similar to the Killer Angels / Gods & Generals
treatment of the EASTERN front of the war?

Any recomendations would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Mike M, Toronto

Check out P.G. Nagle's novels. They're set in New Mexico & Texas during
the War of Northern Aggression. (Or the Civil War, as the Yankees call
it)

Glorieta Pass
The Guns Of Valverde
Galveston
Red River


Enjoy!

I gues in part it depends what you mean by "western theater," but for some, the
battle of Franklin was in the "west" (i.e., not the Army of the Potomac/Army of
Northern Virginia).

In any case, I do not know a finer pair of Civil War novels than Howard Bahr's
"The Black Flower" (set amidst the carnage of the battle of Franklin) and "The
Year of Jubilo," which is more or less about the events in a town garrisoned by
a Union regiment right after the war ended.

I strongly recommend both books -- do a search on reviews, if you wish, and you
may see why.

Don't know if they are on the western front but my wife recomends a two book
set, ONE WORE BLUE and the sequel AND ONE WORE GREY both by Heather Graham.
