Review of Industrial Development and Manufacturing in the Antebellum Gulf South: A Reevaluation by Michael Frawley (LSU Press, 2019):
Per the review, the author's thesis (which looks at Texas, Mississippi, and Alabama - surprisingly not Louisiana) is more industry in the South in 1860 than was previously known, which reveal shortcomings of the 1860 census.
Disclaimer: not my review. This is the first I've heard of the book, but it sounds like an interesting study.
