If you want to discover the captivating history of Texas, then keep reading...

Texas is one of the most recognizable states in the United States of America (it is the second-largest, behind Alaska), and it also has a reputation for being unlike any other. This reputation is well-deserved, in part because of the state’s long and often contentious history.

That history has fascinated many people not only in this nation but around the world for centuries. From the heyday of the Wild West and the state’s oil boom to the storied Texas Rangers and the construction of one of NASA’s primary facilities, it seems nearly impossible to fully explore everything in the state’s rich past.

Compact but not lacking

I needed a quick resource for Texas history. This is "compact" but still gets all main points and time periods addressed. It is an easy read which is also really nice.

Superb History of TEXAS !!!!!

I've been a life long fan of James -- I've been listening to his audible for well over fifty years and counting. And I've listened to all but a few of them. "Texas" was on my bucket list of books to listening .. If you love long, very descriptive,

complete guide to texas

beatiful and well presented. thank you very much. I have visited much of the US. I grew up Houston,Rock port, AMARILLO and Dallas after I retired I worked in San Antonio. Then I worked in the middle east as a combat project manager for DOJ.

Fascinating and enlightening historical account.

I grew up in Santa Ana, CA. I was a poor white kid and most of my friends were Mexican American or Black. We got along remarkably well in those days. After completing four years in the US Navy, upon my return, I observed the incipient phase of an influx of illegal foreigners into Southern CA

Very interesting overview!!

It was a great listen..very interesting and informative. Made me more interested in doing more in depth study for my own interest. A big fan of Texas..went there multiple times last year for the first time. Going to relocate there in the future..the history and culture is intriguing .
