The Ragged Rebel

A Common Soldier in W. H. Parsons' Texas Cavalry, 1861-1865

by B.P. Gallaway

Here is the adventurous, eloquent, true story of David Carey Nance -- a young, Northern-born Texas farmer who opposed slavery but got caught up in the carnage of the Civil War as a soldier in a Texas Cavalry. After enlisting against his father's will, Nance initially reveled in the camaraderie and excitement of military life, but his romantic concepts were quickly dashed by the grim realities of deprivation, sickness, and the horrors of armed combat.
