I photographed the following at the newest and largest American Civil War museum west of the Mississippi River. The Texas Civil War Museum*, located in
Fort Worth, opened in January 2006 and most artifacts, relics and items have never been viewed by the public.

Reading: The Soldier's View: The Civil
War Art of Keith Rocco (Hardcover). Description: A splendid collection of more than 100 paintings and sketches
from one of the leading artists working in the Civil War field. The text features carefully selected eye-witness accounts
that accompany the paintings, and the result is a moving ensemble of images and words that pays homage to the common soldier.
Rocco's oils are reproduced here on acid-free, heavy art paper and placed in a finely sewn binding. "This art is more graphic than the most gripping Civil War photo or picture that I have ever viewed."
*The Texas Civil War Museum opened to the public in January 2006 and is
the largest American Civil War museum west of the Mississippi River. Everyone is highly encouraged to visit the museum.
There are more than 3,000 artifacts and 60 flags which rotate on exhibit. It hosts a wonderful collection of regimental
and brigade flags, muskets, rifles, pistols, sabers, and dozens of Victorian dresses. Its inventory is one of the best, photography
allowed, and the museum exhibits definitely cater to all visitors.
