Archaeological Perspectives on the American Civil War
Excellent and classic study of an unusual campaign. What makes this book different from so many other campaign studies is that Johnson goes into the politics and economics behind the Union decision to head up the Red River with the intention of securing Louisiana and hopefully parts of Texas. The parts about how merchants and officers on both sides got rich off of trading with the enemy are eye-opening and thoroughly researched. This belongs on every Civil War historian's shelf.
