Henry Graber gave up the printer’s trade for surveying in Texas, then rode to war with Terry’s Texas Rangers, the 8th Texas Cavalry. He describes their first engagements, Shiloh, his wounding and capture, handcuffs in the Louisville prison, Camp Chase and Fort Delaware, and his escapes, before turning to six decades of life in Texas. His account is written wholly from the Confederate side.
