Texas

Discover the wonders of the second-largest state—its fascinating history and famous people

The rich history of the Lone Star State is brought to life in hundreds of objects, artifacts, and artwork that you'd have to visit 50 museums to see live. From its huge cattle ranches to its modern cities and famous personalities, Texas is a truly fascinating place. This guide presents all that Texas is famous for—the state capitol, wildlife, rodeos, NASA rockets, and home-cooked grub—with the help of hundreds of full-color, real-life photographs. Learn about how ranching and the discovery of oil changed the face of Texas, who Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin were, why cowboys wore high-heeled boots and large-brimmed hats, and much more.
