The
Era of the Missons Texas Lore Volumes
11 & 12 by Patrick M. Reynolds
American textbooks mention Columbus
and Coronado, then jump to the English colonies along the east
coast, but omit the rest of the continent. Volume Eleven concentrates
on this neglected era when the French and Spanish were trying
to control the continent with Texas as the key. The early settlement
of Texas is marked by greed, conflict, and intrigue, culminating
in the ridiculous "Chicken War." Volume Twelve
contains a variety of stories such as: the founding of Fort Worth,
Jay Gould's railroad, the German Comanche, the Greek pirate of
Galveston, the Chinese in El Pase, towns with unique names, etc.
