===''The Conquest of Texas: Ethnic Cleansing in the Promised Land''===​

Anderson's most recent book is ''The Conquest of Texas: Ethnic Cleansing in the Promised Land, 1830-1875,'' published in 2005 by the [[University of Oklahoma Press. The book repudiates traditional historians, such as [[Walter Prescott Webb]] and Rupert N. Richardson, who viewed the settlement of Texas by the displacement of the native populations as a healthful and inevitable development. Anderson writes that at the time of the outbreak of the [[American Civil War]], when the Texas population was nearly 600,000, the still new state was "a very violent place. . . . Texans mostly blamed Indians for the violence -- an unfair indictment, since a series of terrible droughts had virtually incapacitated the Plains Indians, making them incapable of extended warfare."<ref name=conquest>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KKGt7CMROmgC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Professor+Gary+Clayton+Anderson&source=bl&ots=6V_9qmE4Bk&sig=1udznMusarKcxHR8iqRws9s3ttQ&hl=en&ei=-wDDTNnIOcX_lgf6lowE&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CCcQ6AEwBjgK#v=onepage&q=Professor%20Gary%20Clayton%20Anderson&f=false|title=The Conquest of Texas: Ethnic Cleansing in the Promised Land, 1830-1875|publisher=[[University of Oklahoma Press]]|last=Anderson |first=Gary Clayton |year=2005 |page=9 (quotation) |isbn=0-8061-3698-7|accessdate=October 23, 2010}}</ref> ''The Conquest of Texas'' was nominated for a [[Pulitzer Prize]].
