Texas: a place that triggers the imagination of Americans and the world as much today as it did when the Spanish explorers arrived nearly four centuries ago.
Forever Texas features the writings of remarkable Texans--Texans by birth, or by circumstance--including President George W. Bush, H. Ross Perot, and the state's most famous historical figures: the likes of Sam Houston, David Crockett, Stephen F. Austin, and Lyndon Baines Johnson.
Through the most informative collection of personal essays to date, Forever Texas explains the undeniable Texas mystique while, at the same time, perpetuating the proud legacy of the state and its people. From the conquistadores to the Presidents to its greatest writers, Forever Texas explored the images, strengths, and desires that make up the Lone Star State's colorful and exciting history.
