Vaqueros in Blue and Gray
Jerry Don Thompson
Introduction by Félix Almaráz
As many as 9,500 men of Hispanic heritage fought in the United
States' Civil War. In Texas, the bitter conflict deeply divided the
Tejanos—Texans of Mexican heritage. An estimated 2,500 fought
in the ranks of the Confederacy while 950, including some Mexican
nationals, fought for the Stars and Stripes. Vaqueros in Blue and
Gray, originally published in 1976, is the story of these Tejanos
who participated in the Civil War.
The new edition of the history of these vaqueros contains the first
comprehensive list, containing almost 4,000 names, ever compiled of
the Confederate and Union Hispanics from Texas who served in the
war.
Vaqueros in Blue and Gray presents a stirring saga of these brave
people, their land, and their epic role in the Civil War and in the
history of Texas.
