Description
Book SynopsisIf you love history and want to amaze your family and colleagues with your prodigious knowledge of Lone Star lore, this book is just what you need. A Browser's Book of Texas History is a day-by-day collection of more than 500 incident-some famous, some obscure-that have made Texas the most remarkable state in the Union. Even if you're a dedicated historian or an old-time Texan, you're likely to find something surprising, amusing, thought provoking, or just plain odd. With this book you can start every day of the year with a concise entry from the chronicles of this unique state, which just seems to naturally breed colorful people and bigger-than-life events.
Trade ReviewBrilliant stuff, here, in these perennial and self-renewing reference volumes from Fort Worth area author Steven A. Jent. You might start out with these as a browser, just puttering about among the pages to see what turns up, but Jent's passion for the subject matter is likely to make a dedicated scholar out of even the casual reader. * Fort Worth Business Press *
