Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Texas: An Illustrated History Covers A Lot Of History And A Lot Of Ground.Everyone Notices How Different Texas Is From Other States. For One Thing, It'S Bigger Than All Of Them (Except Alaska). For Another, It'S Got So Many Different Types Of Land In It That It Seems Like At Least Four States In Onemountains, Gently Sloping Plains, Three Mighty Rivers (And Many Lesser Ones), Prairies, Wetlands, Islands, Not To Mention Miles And Miles Of Highways Passing Through Farm Country And Vast Cities. And Then There'S The Weather. It Rains A Lot In The Eastern And Central Part But Hardly At All In The West. Snow And Sleet Are Unusual, But There Can Be Blizzards On The Great Plains And In The Panhandle. There Are Also Parts Of Texas That Experience Droughts And Other Parts That Are Prone To Flooding. Texas Weather Can Include Dust Storms, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, And Even Blue Northers' That Blow Through, Breaking Tree Limbs, Shaking The Windows, And Lowering The Temperature As Much As 24 Degrees In One Hour.It Should Come As No Surprise That A State So Full Of Variety Has A History As Distinct And Unpredictable As Its Weather And Geography. In 9200 B.C. The First Humans Migrated Into The Texas Panhandle. What Followedexploration And Settlement By The Spaniards, Mexican Rule, The Years As An Independent Republic, Statehood, Secession, And The Civil Warand What Is Still Unfolding Today Are Fascinating Stories. Distinguished Texas Historian David G. Mccomb Has Gathered Anecdotes, Tall Tales, And Littleknown Facts To Bring To Life The Drama, Humor, And Farreaching Consequences Of Texas History. He Writes Of The Native Americans In Texas, Of The Armadillo (A Whimsical Folk Symbol But Not, As Most Suppose, The Official State Animal), The Alamo, Barbed Wire, Longhorn Cattle, The Texas Rangers, And The Supreme Importance Of Football To The Average Texan. He Profiles Such Texans As Jim Bowie, Audie Murphy, Van Cliburn, Willie Nelson, Barbara Jordan, Michael Debakey, And Many Others Who Have Left A Mark Not Only On Texas But On The World. The Long And Complex History Of Texas Falls Into Place In An Entertaining Text, Brimming With Facts And Filled With Fascinating Photographs And Illustrations From The Past And Present.It Is Safe To Say That The United States Could Not Survive Without Texas If It Had To. But After Reading Texas: An Illustrated History, You Will Agree That Texas, Has, Over The Years, Added Much To The History Of Our Country And That Is Has A Special Brand Of Humor And Style That Enriches Us All.
