Superb concise history

This is a textbook, and a relatively small one at that. Readers will be surprised at how little physical material they receive for the price, but that's just a first impression. This book is the best history of Spanish and Mexican Texas I've yet seen. It covers that period very well. The chapters are short, and each chapter is divided into subtopics of one or two paragraphs. It's very neatly arranged, and works well as a reference. The book is not a narrative history, and it doesn't read that way. This is a get-to-the-point text of dates, places, small maps and demographic data intended more for USE than enjoyment. It's an excellent, well-refined little book, as one can imagine for a volume now in its 10th edition.

Very informative reading with great bibliographies ending each chapter.

This book was required for my Texas History class in addition to another one concerning the life of Sam Houston. This is a great academic book with a tremendous amount of information.

Great Review
