<p><strong><em>Pandemonium and the Fugitive Governor </em></strong></p><p> </p><p>By the end of the Civil War, Texas was impoverished, lawless, and had experienced suicide in the governor's mansion. Wartime turmoil ensnared the state, especially its last Confederate governor, Pendleton Murrah. Orphaned by his mother as an infant, Murrah was raised by a charitable organization, which saw to his education. Despite having tuberculosis, he moved to Texas and became a lawyer and politician. He was elected governor in November 1863 and served until the end of the Civil War. The war brought on multiple hardships, culminating in chaos. Former soldiers robbed the state treasury in a violent shoot-out while Murrah and other Confederates exiled themselves to Mexico. Murrah died south of the border, where his remains are still lost. </p><p><strong>Author Lori Duran </strong>exhumes a treacherous and tumultuous time in Texas's early statehood. </p>
