First published in 1875, it is based on meticulous journals he kept during his service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat did Blessington do during the war? He served in the only division made up of troops from a single state and the largest unit of Texas troops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis large unit in which Blessington served was Walker's Texas Division, also known as Walker's Greyhounds, or the Greyhound Division. They served in Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana, never crossing the Mississippi River. That's a telling detail. These men were all volunteers and many enlistments early in the war had stipulations. Some regiments saw themselves as defenders of Texas from invasion and only consented to be deployed in adjacent states to do just that. Walker's was one such division. Joseph Blessington did not just rely on his journals, he interviewed other Greyhound Division veterans and pored over the official records. This is a complete history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 338\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 12, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47520566116573,"sku":"9781941324912","price":73.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/PxtDHfnprD9781941324912.webp?v=1772244921","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-campaigns-of-walkers-texas-division-hardcover","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
