*Texas after the Civil War: The Struggle of Reconstruction*. By Carl H. Moneyhon. (College Station: Texas A&M University Press, 2004. ix + 237 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, annotated bibliography, index. $45.00, cloth; $19.95, paper.)
Students of Texas history have long felt the need for a work on the Reconstruction Era incorporating the latest modern scholarship on that complex and troubled period in the state's history. That need has now been met in this volume by Carl Moneyhon, professor of history at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. The author is well suited for the task. Beginning with his Republicanism in Reconstruction Texas (College Station, 1980) and continuing through other books and articles, Moneyhon has established himself as one of the premier scholars of the Civil War and Reconstruction in the Southwest.	1
As Moneyhon notes in his introduction, he presents "little new detail" in this volume (p. 5). Rather, he does a splendid job in synthesizing the scholarship of revisionist studies of the past three decades. In so doing he also points to specific areas, such as the economic and social history of African Americans in post-war Texas, that need additional historical investigation.	. . .
