Texas

Written in a narrative style, this comprehensive yet accessible survey of Texas history?from early times to the present?offers a balanced, scholarly presentation of all time periods and topics. From the beginning sections on geography and prehistoric people, to the concluding discussions on the start of the twenty-first century, this text successfully considers each era equally in terms of space and emphasis. The ninth edition has been revised to reflect the events of the latest century, including the tragedy of September 11, 2001, and the elections of 2002. Additionally, the visual program of maps, graphs, and photographs has been updated to reflect recent events and scholarship. Finally, a revised listing of recently published books and articles is included in the bibliography that concludes each chapter. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
