If you love Texas, you gotta own these books!

Literally an encyclopedia of everything Texas, this set of books is the ultimate resource for all things Texan. Wanna know why your town has the name it does or who was that guy they named that road after? This is the place to go.

There's no way you'll cuddle up in your bed with one of these books, but you'll love `em just the same.

I was born at Winters, Runnels County, Texas yet grew up in the Piney Woods of East Texas, Smith County. I bought my copy of The New Handbook of Texas when it was first available. When I was in high school we took Texas History as required subject. I doubt that it is even available as an elective subject now. In that class I acquired a strong desire to investigate further knowledge about "my state".

I have yet to want to know something about Texas and not be able to find it in The New Handbook of Texas. It has been available for my grandchildren to use in writing themes, essays, etc., assigned in their schools. It is valuable beyond the cost of the books.

This is a great book containing information about Texas. It is a beginning resource and should be used. It has everything from Alvaez to Zavala
