As early as April 1861, armed Mexican Texans (Tejanos as they were called) revolted against Confederate authorities in Zapata County, Texas. With the arrival of the Union Army in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in November 1863, almost a thousand Tejanos were recruited and came to comprise the Second Texas Cavalry. Most who served in the Federal blue came from small towns and villages along the Rio Grande; a good many were illiterate peones and some were called pelados--a derogatory term for the truly "down and out." Jerry Thompson's expertly written and exhaustively researched study, the first complete account of this obscure but important chapter in Civil War Texas history, tells of the organization of the Second Texas, its colorful and controversial officers, its attack on Laredo in March 1864, its guerilla warfare in the Nueces Strip, the desertion of one-third of its troopers into Mexico, and its activities down to its mustering out in September 1865. Mexican Texans in the Union Army contains photographs, maps and a complete roster of the men who served in the Second Texas Cavalry.
