Mistakes abound in this disappointing book,
By
This review is from: Flags of Texas (Flags of the States) (Hardcover)
Texas certainly needs a good book on its flag history; unfortunately, "Flags of Texas" isn't that book. This is a revision of "A Concise History of Early Texas" (1964), which itself was based on the Mamie Wynne Cox's greatly flawed "The Romantic Flags of Texas" (1936).Mistakes abound--the silly conception of the "Indian Flag," the use of archaic French and Spanish flags no longer in use at the time of the exploration of Texas, the use of the current Mexican flag when the text speaks of "Mexico's Historic Flag," a discussion of the "De Zavala Flag" when no such flag existed, the apocryphal designation of Charles Stewart as the designer of the current Lone Star Flag, and the statement that the Confederate "Star and Bars Flag" was "the first official Confererate flag." There is no bibliography, probably because most--if not all--of the research came from reading Mamie Wynne Cox's book. Fortunately Texas flag scholarship is improving with newer works such as Alan K. Sumrall's "Battle Flags of Texas in the Confederacy," Robert Maberry's "Texas Flags," and flag entries in "The New Handbook of Texas."
