I have just posted my new book review of Edward T. Cotham, Jr.'s Sabine Pass: The Confederacy's Thermopylae. This is a fascinating book about a little know battle in the far southeastern corner of the Texas gulf coast. If you've read dozens of books about the Civil War in the East, or even about the big battles in the Western theater, I highly recommend this little gold nugget from Texas. It is the first book I've read about the Civil War in Texas and I'll soon be reading Mr. Cotham's book on the battle of Galveston next. My thanks to Mr. Cotham for his participation in a short e-mail interview for my book review. For the full review go here.
