Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans

Plot

With a novelist's eye for detail, and a historian's precision, Fehrenbach explores the fascinating panorama of Texas from the first days of the Old American race 40,000 years ago, through the Spanish and French invasions, the golden age of cotton, cattle, and oil empires, to the tragic Kennedy assassination and its aftermath. He has laced the text with the exploits of cowboys, Indians, oil wildcatters, and adventurers, along with time-honored Texas tall tales and legends.
