Publisher's Synopsis
From its dusty Spanish legacy and struggle for independence to its vital place in the world's economy, Texas remains connected to its frontier roots. Crammed with fascinating facts, historical vignettes, and snappy anecdotes, this book gives the lowdown on this sprawling state and tells the story of its people - descendents of the first inhabitants, those who came in covered wagons or cars, and those who made it big or lost it all. A fun read and an entertaining resource, Calling Texas Home makes a great gift for those who love the Lone Star State.
