Book Synopsis

The history of New Texas, the Texas we know todayoil-rich, insufferably loud, and unbearably proud of itselfbegins in the late 1920s, when a horned frog wakes from its thirty-one-year nap in a courthouse cornerstone and flabbergasts the nation. In slightly over two decades ten individualstheir words, actions, and accomplishmentscome to define the New Texas of the twenty-first century. While the history of Old Texas rests on oft-told legends of Houston, Austin, Travis, Crockett, Rusk, Lamar, and Seguin, today's New Texasproud, loud, self-promotional, sports-crazy, and too rich for its own goodis the Texas that percolates throughout the nation's popular culture.

In Texas Loud, Proud, and Brash: How Ten Mavericks Created the Twentieth-Century Lone Star State, author Rusty Williams profiles ten largely unsung men and women responsible for the Texas you love, hate, and (secretly) envy today. Sidebar content throughout the book features historic anecdotes and words of wit and wisd
