Explorers and Indians. Soldiers and generals. Oil barons and ranchers. Outlaws, gunslingers, war heroes, and even journalists. All are bound together by a single common denominator—Texas. This delightful romp through the history of the Lone Star state begins 317 years before the first white European male washed ashore near Galveston Island, and winds up with the settlement of the High Plains. Within these pages are little-known stories not only involving well-known heroes, but unknown players who contributed to and changed the history of Texas.
