Review
“Hal Rothman once again demonstrates his talents and range with this very readable book, which is as much a biography of Lyndon in Texas as it is a biography of his prototype presidential ranch. Those who know and cherish the Texas Hill Country will understand Johnson’s pleasure in his Western White House, and will chuckle at his use of it to teach others lessons about places they’d forgotten, or never knew. This is another splendid Rothman book.”--Dan Flores, author, Horizontal Yellow and The Natural West
