Texas

In this magnificent historical novel, James A. Michener masterfully combines fact and fiction to present our richest, most expansive, and most diversified state. Spanning four and a half centuries, this monumental novel charts the epic history of the state of Texas, from its Spanish roots in the age of the conquistadors to its modern-day American character, shaped by oil and industry. A magnificent achievement by a literary master, Texas, a tale of violence and conflict, patriotism and statesmanship, growth and development, is as exciting as it is informative.
