"The itensity of the hard fought Red River campaign comes alive in McGowen's well-turned words. Based upon meticulous research in Confederate Army records, letters, diaries, published memoirs, and relevant secondary materials, Horse Sweat and Powder Smoke sheds valuable light on a long-neglected aspect of the Civil War in the West, and it will be a welcome addition to the shelves of scholars and other Civil War enthusiasts."--Journal of Southern History "Horse Sweat and Powder Smoke is a fascinating history of one of the Civil War's most interesting and colorful regiments."--Library Booknotes "Readers will find McGowen's book engrossing and thought-provoking, a stimulating study of large questions in microcosm."--Southwestern Historical Quarterly "McGowen's style is clear . . . a fine book."--The Civil War News
