Anderson's ''The Conquest of Texas: Ethnic Cleansing in the Promised Land, 1830-1875,'' was 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|author=Gary Clayton Anderson|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]].
