Research Interests
My research focuses primarily on the 19th Century United States, with particular emphasis on slavery, the Old South, the history of 19th Century Texas and the American Civil War. My recently published monograph Granbury’s Texas Brigade: Diehard Texas Confederates (Louisiana State University Press, 2012) follows a group of Confederates through the Civil War, using them as a case study to explore larger themes about the war such as Confederate nationalism, combat units and the war in the Western Theater. Other articles I have published and papers I have presented focus on slavery in Brazoria County Texas, the secession movement in north Texas, and several others on various aspects of the Civil War in the Western Theater. Currently I am working on articles related to the Civil War service of Rutherford Hayes and the Battle of Spring Hill, Tennessee. My long-term research goal is to explore the role of Confederate women in the war and write a full history of the Confederate Army of Tennessee.
