Product Description
Hearing the word "Texas" conjures images of a state as diverse as it is large, and this book captures the array of people—from common folks "done well," such as Willie Nelson, to a couple who have gone to Washington to lead the nation and reside in the White House, yet still have Texas branded deep in their hearts and souls. The well-visualized and executed photographs pair with the penned portraits of the subjects, giving the reader a complete panoramic vision of Texas, expanding the horizon and confirming that there are many worlds in Texas.
