General Halbert Eleazer Paine, commanding officer of the Fourth Wisconsin Regiment of Volunteers, took part in most significant military actions in the lower Mississippi Valley during the Civil War. Nearly forty years after the conflict's end, Paine—a former school teacher and attorney who would become a three-term congressman—penned recollections of his wartime exploits, including his involvement in the Vicksburg campaign, the operations that resulted in the capture of New Orleans, the Battle of Baton Rouge, the Bayou Teche offensive, and the siege of Port Hudson. Now available for the first time, A Wisconsin Yankee in the Confederate Bayou offers Paine's excellent eyewitness account of the complexities of war. Introduced and annotated by noted historian Samuel C. Hyde, Jr.

Wisconsin Yankee in the Confederate Bayou: The Civil War Reminiscences of a Union General
A nice collection of Southern California's history told from the perspective of an author who lived through it. Horace Bell is known to have exagerated frequently, but even his tallest tales generally have some foundation with reality. Outlaws, gamblers, and gringos make for an intriguing read through gunfights and hangings. Although Horace Bell attempts to skirt around the more violent episodes, the prolific crime and muder throughout the area make it an impossible task. Also notable in the text are the early, generous lives of the Rancheros, anecdotes from the lesser known Los Angeles gold rush, and the unlawful, but highly popular, revolutionary spark of American fillibusters.
