SUNY:

• Lincoln's Veteran Volunteers Win the War: The Hudson Valley's Ross Brothers and the Union's Fight for Emancipation by D. Reid Ross.

Nebraska:

North Carolina:

• Shenandoah 1862: Stonewall Jackson's Valley Campaign by Peter Cozzens.
• Disunion! The Coming of the American Civil War, 1789–1859 by Elizabeth Varon.
• Freedom: A Documentary History of Emancipation, 1861–1867 Series 3, Volume 1: Land and Labor, 1865 eds. Hahn, Miller, O’Donovan, Rodrigue, and Rowland.
• Mutiny at Fort Jackson: The Untold Story of the Fall of New Orleans by Michael Pierson.
• Gender and the Sectional Conflict by Nina Silber.
• North Carolinians in the Era of the Civil War and Reconstruction ed. by Paul Escott.

Within a few weeks, I hope to finish my reading of the Cozzens ARC. Varon's book will be the first of a new series The Littlefield History of the Civil War Era. Modern inquiries into the fall of New Orleans continue to absent themselves from the work of historians, so Pierson's book is certainly welcomed.

Ohio:

• Missouri's War: The Civil War in Documents ed. by Silvana R. Siddali.

Southern Illinois:

• A Just and Righteous Cause: Benjamin H. Grierson's Civil War Memoir ed. by Bruce J. Dinges and Shirley A. Leckie.
• Cumberland Blood: Champ Ferguson's Civil War by Thomas Mays.
  
  

Texas A&M Consortium:

• Andersonvilles of the North: The Myths and Realities of Northern Treatment of Civil War Confederate Prisoners by James Gillispie. (UNT)
• Confederate Struggle for Command: General James Longstreet and the First Corps in the West by Alexander Mendoza. (TAMU)
• Texas Confederate, Reconstruction Governor by Kenneth Wayne Howell. (TAMU)
• Texas Civil War Artifacts by Richard Mather Ahlstrom. (UNT)

I could imagine the Mendoza book having a wide appeal among CW readers. Putting aside Chickamauga and Chattanooga, little has been written about Longstreet's 1863-1864 East Tennessee campaign.
