Being Texan uses more than 140 period images and modern illustrations through 110 stories of the lives of individual Texans to narrate the history of Texas and the development of Texas culture from 1500 to the present. While the stories are excellent for popular reading, they also provide, along with instructional appendices, bibliography, and index, a supplemental resource for teaching required and elective Texas history and culture diversity courses. Revised, expanded and fully illustrated edition.
