A lighthearted, gung-ho, unabashedly pro-Texas little book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
100 Great Things About Texas is an enjoyable, pocket-sized trivia book filled with 100 "did you know?" tidbits about what makes the great state of Texas different. Some of the great things are based solidly on fact ("Texas still has the right to divide into five states. But if we did that we wouldn't be Texas"); some are historical lore ("The Texas Rangers trace their history back to 1823. Stephen F. Austin called them 'Rangers' because they ranged over such a wide territory protecting colonists"); and still others are a more subjective matter of opinion ("No matter what state you're traveling to, you're practically there once you cross the Texas state line"). A lighthearted, gung-ho, unabashedly pro-Texas little book, ideal as a welcome gift for Texas visitors or a souvenir for tourists.
