It will be the new ground-breaker on the subject, the place to start for anyone doing serious work on Reconstruction in Texas. Moneyhon has done a great service for Texas historians and Southern historians by distilling much of the new revisionists’ works on the subject.”--James Smallwood, Professor Emeritus, Oklahoma State University (James Smallwood, Professor Emeritus, Oklahoma State University ) | | | |

 Fine overview Apr 11, 2006
By O. Pflug
Texas After the Civil War could have been a stronger book if it had utilized primary sources more. Nonetheless, Carl Moneyhon's work is a fine overview of the Period between 1865 and 1872 when Democrats regained the state government. Many old Texas histories claim that Reconstruction was an awful experience, marred by bayonet-rule, outrageous behavior by black militia units, and suppression of basic democracy. Moneyhon shows that was not quite the case; interestingly noting that the fall of white voter participation came not from official disenfranchisement, but from unwillingness to participate in post-Confederate government.
Politics are covered most thoroughly, but Moneyhon also give space to Republican attempts to develop the Texas economy. The first decade of black freedom is also discussed at some length. Less space is devoted to postwar life for former Confederates.
Worth checking out for anyone interested in Texas history or Reconstruction.

 Best history of Texas reconstruction Oct 10, 2011
By Tim Murray
"ManagementUplink"
Professor Moneyhon's history of Texas reconstruction reads like a well written novel, not the dry, stuffy history written by many professors. After reading his history, I can see the beginnings of the current political system in Texas - low taxes valued over good schools and other government programs.
Let the sun shine in! Mar 11, 2010
By Douglas Collins
"constitutionalist"
There is precious little written about Reconstruction in Texas and the shameful way that history has presented Gov. Edmund Jackson Davis, Radical Republican Governor from 1870-74. This book goes a long way to rehabilitate Davis and discuss many problems that even present day Texans have failed to come to terms with.
