inals of the Hall book, published in 1898, have become quite
difficult to secure; thus the facsimile reproduction is a double
blessing to Civil War devotees and book collectors alike.
There are many Texans and, indeed, many members of the
Association who will remember Otis A. Singletary a-relatively-
few-years-ago as an associate editor of the Quarterly and as a
member of the department of history of the University of Texas.
At the University, he was always an excellent teacher, adminis-
trator, and editor.
A new edition of Singletary's book entitled Negro Militia and
Reconstruction (in McGraw-Hill Paperbacks, University of Texas
Press) has recently been received in the office. The book is in
new paperback form and sells for $2.25. This edition also brings
Singletary's record up to date and shows that he is presently
chancellor of the University of North Carolina, Greensboro.
The book has a number of references to Texas, particularly
in the time of E. J. Davis' term as governor. Two significant
illustrations are from Texas and the book has general application
to the Texas scene from Appomattox to the end of the Davis
administration.
The University of Illinois Press, Urbana, has recently pub-
lished The Galvanized Yankees by D. Alexander Brown, an ac-
count of the Confederate prisoners-of-war who were recruited
by the North to fight Indians on the frontier. One chapter is
devoted to Captain John T. Shanks of Texas, the only ex-Con-
federate to become a commissioned officer in the six regiments
of Galvanized Yankees.
In Tales from the Brush Country (San Antonio, Naylor Com-
pany, 1963) Bunyan Blackwell has collected four legends and
stories of Southwest Texas: "The Phantom Rider," "Strange
Debris from the Devil's Horseshoe Bend," "Saved to be Shot,"
and "No Road Out," to which he has added "Sancho and Other
Returners," by J. Frank Dobie; "Hearts and Crosses," by O.
Henry; and "The Wayworn Wanderer of the Western Wilds,"
by Bigfoot Wallace.
J. Evetts Haley, Men of Fiber (El Paso, Carl Hertzog, 1963),
is a collection of five biographical sketches on John R. Baylor,591
