Texas is a blend of many cultures and identities. "Such a blend does not come easily, however. When a land as great and rich as Texas changes hands so many times, it does not do so peacefully." Texas has been the site of numerous battles; Adobe Walls, Blanco Canyon, Gonzales, Salado, San Jacinto, the Alamo, Palo Duro Canyon, and Rattlesnake Springs are just a few of the many historical sites examined in Battlefields of Texas. Vivid descriptions of the fields of battle, individual profiles of the participants, and retrospective analysis of each battle make this book an excellent reference for Texas and military historians alike. Maps of some of the battlefields and historical photos are included in this unique collection of Texas history.

The Last of the Old-Time Cowboys

BY THE WINNER OF THE SPUR AWARD Working cowboys live on as genuine legends who rode through a golden moment in American history. In the 1980s historian/ author Patrick Dearen went looking for the last of these fading icons. The trail took him to dozens of one-time cowhands in their 80s, 90s, and even 100s whose aged eyes lit up and voices seemed young again as they spoke of their experiences on the trail. From these honest-to-goodness cowhands he collected priceless, spellbinding true stories of the incredible hardships of braving the elements, dealing with stampedes and runaways, and good-natured hoorawing with their companions. These stories bear the unmistakable brand of an Old West that is now but a dusty grave on a long-lost trail. Dearen chronicles the tales and introduces the cowboys who tell them, with tender respect and love.
