Ross indelibly stamped his identity on the unit so that it became known as Ross' Texas Brigade. While a member of Ross' Texas Brigade, Rose was wounded at least three times, once severely.
Book I: "The Life And Services Of General Ben McCulloch" by Victor M. Rose is the biography of a famous Texas' Ranger, U. S. Marshall, & Confederate General in the American Civil War. In this book, Rose paints a vivid picture of this famous Texan's life & services to the Lone Star Republic & later the state of Texas. McCulloch fought in the Texas revolution that created the Republic of Texas. He then joined one of the companies of the famed Texas Rangers & helped protect the settlers from Indian attacks often fomented by the Mexican government, eager to reclaim Texas. During the Mexican-American War, his command of Rangers helped General Taylor defeat the Mexican army at Monterrey & Buena Vista. When Texas seceded, McCulloch was made a general & commanded the frontier of Northern Texas. In this capacity he commanded at the Confederate victory at Wilson's Creek, Missouri (1861). He was killed leading his command at the Confederate defeat at Pea Ridge, Arkansas (1862).
Book II: "Ross' Texas Brigade: The Texas Rangers & Cavalry In The Civil War" by Victor M. Rose is a history of the famous Texas Brigade of cavalry, made up of the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 27th cavalry regiments, commanded by General Laurence Sullivan Ross. The Ross Brigade was named after Ross, its 3rd commander, who indelibly stamped his identity on the unit. Victor Rose served in the Ross Brigade until his capture in 1864, so he gives a first-hand account of one of the most famous Texas military units of the Civil War. It was also one of the most active. Its members were described as "rollicking, rascally, [and] brave" and appreciated for their dependability. General Stephen D. Lee called this Texans cavalry brigade the "most reliable" troops under his command.
Book III: "The Texas Vendetta; Or The Sutton-Taylor Feud: The Deadliest Blood Feud In Texas" by Victor M. Rose is a history of the most famous blood feud in Texas history. In this book, Rose paints a vivid picture of the collision of the indigenous, defiant southerner----the Taylors----and the Scalawag/Carpetbagger power structure----the Sutton faction---- created by the Reconstruction Laws. He had first-hand knowledge of the participants on both sides and access to the people and records of the period. Out of this, he creates a picture of a fractured society, divided by war and preyed upon by unscrupulous authorities.
