Great read

This is a great read. Everyone will enjoy it. It is a great book for the classroom.

Good Book

I think that "Texas History Stories" is a very good book with lots of good information. It contains stories of some of the men and events that shaped our Texas history and image. Although I think it was aimed for more middle school readers, I found it very entertaining and a good read!
