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.
