West Texas: A History Of The Giant Side Of The State

Texas is as well known for its diversity of landscape and culture as it is for its enormity. But West Texas, despite being popularized in film and song, has largely been ignored by historians as a distinct and cultural geographic space. This collection of essays covers the grand sweep of West Texas history from the ancient to the contemporary. Readers can sample topics in whichever order they please, whether they are interested in learning about ranching, recreation, or turn-of-the-century education.
