Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Yellow Dogs and Republicans: Allan Shivers and Texas Two-Party Politics (Hardcover)
An outstanding book about one Texas's most popular, powerful, and controversial governors who opened the door to creating a true two party system on the South.

Lone Star Rising,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Yellow Dogs and Republicans: Allan Shivers and Texas Two-Party Politics (Hardcover)
Anyone interested in how Texas became a two party state should read this book. It has always been a Conservative State but this book explains in "graphic detail" how it evolved from being a "factionalized Democratic State" to one which offers its constituents "clear choices" in each Statewide Election.
