This book has an incredible amount of information. I was interested to see if there was much remaining of French influence in Texas, as there is German, Czech, etc., so I did a search in books for French in Texas and this book popped up. I ordered it immediately and could hardly wait to receive it. Wow, this book is highly detailed and specific. The only problem is digging out the info.
This is 360 pages of very small print, so much information as to be pretty overwhelming. This would be a great book for a one or two semester college course (and that may be its intended purpose), but not so much for casual reading. Never-the-less everything you ever wanted to know about the French in Texas is there, and can be learned with just an investment of time. So this review is not meant to be critical, I think the author wrote the exact type of book he intended, and it's great for that sort of scholarly purpose. It's not what I expected, but even if I had a chance to examine it in advance, I would still order it. Congratulations to the author on such a complete and detailed work.
