Open Road's Texas Guide [Paperback]

Judy Moore (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1998 | Series: Open Road Travel Guides Texas Guide

A native Texan calls on a lifetime of experience to describe both the rollicking old Texas of wild frontier life and the exciting new face of vibrant, modern Texas. Judy Moore explores the exceptional flavors of Texas cuisine and bargain hunting on the Texas-Mexico border, including the places where cowboys buy "genuine" Texas cowboy hats.

Amazon.com Review

Spring is nigh, the Texas wildflowers are ready to bloom, and the chicken-fried steaks are sizzling. Texas cuts a grand figure in legend, film, history, and across the map of the United States. The second-largest state in area and population, with miles of gulf shoreline, acres of interior, and gallons of attitude, Texas offers the variety tourists crave, and the space in which to enjoy it. Judy Moore's Texas Guide presents dude ranches, sacred Native American scapes, and the U.S.'s second largest canyon--still home to buffalo. She writes of rivers for kayaking and fishing, wetlands for bird watching, and saloons where Bonnie and Clyde drank. There's the music scene in Austin, archaeology in Lubbock, and dune-filled beaches on South Padre Island. She describes the options (desert, mountain, coast, and city), explains the subtleties of barbecue, details hundreds of places to stay and to eat, and makes Texas accessible.
