Dr. Carl Moneyhon, professor of history, has written a new book, “Edmund J. David: Civil War General, Republican Leader, Reconstruction Governor.”

Published by Texas Christian University Press and distributed by Texas A&M University Press, the book is a biography of the lawyer and politician who opposed secession and served as a Union general and served one term as the 14th governor of Texas.

The book was mentioned last week in the “New Scholarly Books” section in the Chronicle of Higher Education.
