Brilliant stuff, here, in these perennial and self-renewing reference volumes from Fort Worth area author Steven A. Jent. You might start out with these as a browser, just puttering about among the pages to see what turns up, but Jent's passion for the subject matter is likely to make a dedicated scholar out of even the casual reader.
Description
If you love history and want to amaze your family and colleagues with your prodigious knowledge of Lone Star lore, this book is just what you need.
A Browser's Book of Texas History is a day-by-day collection of more than 500 incident-some famous, some obscure-that have made Texas the most remarkable state in the Union. Even if you're a dedicated historian or an old-time Texan, you're likely to find something surprising, amusing, thought provoking, or just plain odd.
With this book you can start every day of the year with a concise entry from the chronicles of this unique state, which just seems to naturally breed colorful people and bigger-than-life events.
