Texas Classics

The core books in the Texas Classics series are primary source documents recognized as essential to the study of Texas history in standard bibliographic reference works, including Basic Texas Books; U.S. IANA; Guide to the Life and Literature of the Southwest; Six Score: The 120 Best Books on the Range Cattle Industry; The Rampaging Herd; and The Fifty Best Books on Texas. The Texas Classics also have a distinctive "series look." The covers feature period photographs that range from the earliest-known daguerreotype of the Alamo, to Matthew Brady's portrait of Sam Houston, to Bill Wittliff's trail drive photograph from the making of Lonesome Dove. This attractive set of books should be in every library and every personal collection of Texana.
