Tempest Over Texas: The Fall and Winter Campaigns, 1863-1864 is the fourth installment in Dr. Donald S. Frazier's award-winning Louisiana Quadrille series. Picking up the story of the Civil War in Louisiana and Texas after the fall of Port Hudson and Vicksburg, Tempest Over Texas describes Confederate confusion on how to carry on in the Trans-Mississippi given the new strategic realities. Likewise, Federal forces gathered from Memphis to New Orleans were in search of a new mission. International intrigues and disasters on distant battlefields would all conspire to confuse and perplex war-planners. One thing remained, however. The Stars and Stripes needed to fly once again in Texas, and as soon as possible.

State House Press is the imprint of the McWhiney History Education Group whose mission is to make history accessible through publishing, education, and tourism, It is a proud partner with the Texas Center at Schreiner University in Kerrville, Texas. The Texas Center is an educational ecosystem that offers opportunities for students and the general population to learn and appreciate the uniqueness of Texan history, civilization, and society. The Lone Star State has always been at the intersection of people, cultures, and ideas, and populated by immigrants. As a result, it has become an exceptionally diverse state with a history of redeeming, restoring, and transforming ordinary individuals into citizens who achieve the extraordinary. Texas too, has always been a borderland, inhabited by those who resist the urge to be homogenized and contained, while appreciating and promoting the ways in which our neighbors are different and unique-but also pulling in the same direction. The Texas Center at Schreiner University will continue the university's tradition of being the small college in Texas that believes in the classic Texan virtues of spirit, fortitude, hope, and achievement.
