THE PORTABLE HANDBOOK OF
TEXAS
Edited by Roy R. Barkley and Mark F.
Odintz
Texas! The very word brings to mind images that span many
centuries and cultures: from the Tejas Indians . . . to the Tejanos
of South Texas . . . to the Texians of the fledgling republic . . .
to the Texans of today. The layered historical panorama of past and
present Texas is the subject of the Portable Handbook of
Texas.
The Portable Handbook is a condensation of the
award-winning New Handbook of Texas which the Texas State
Historical Association published in six volumes in 1996. This
one-volume compendium features a comprehensive overview of Texas
history from prehistory to the present.
The Portable
Handbook brings together more historical information about Texas
than can be found in any other single volume. It is the most useful
and reliable one-volume reference work ever published on
Texas--ideal for the home and office, the student, teacher, and
traveler.
