The English Texans
by Thomas W. Cutrer
"The English who came to Texas in the early
19th century were awed by Texas drinking,
disgusted by Texas spitting and chewing,
charmed by Texas hospitality [and] utterly
baffled by Texas politics." So says Thomas W.
Cutrer in this book about the English
experience in early Texas. The solid
contributions of English settlers, from barbed
wire to steel windmills, are enhanced by
interesting anecdotes and witty quotes.

Texas and the
American Revolution
coordinated by R. Henderson Shuffler
On July 4, 1776, Texas was a minor sub­province
of New Spain. The revolt in the
English colonies seemed of minor significance
to the hemisphere as a whole, yet Texas was
directly affected by it. The results of the
American Revolution and the other revolutions
of the Americas-and the very direct influence
of Anglo-American colonization-were to
shape the course of Texas history for the next
two centuries. 72 pp. Illustrated.

The Texas Rangers:

Next to the Alamo, the Texas
Rangers may be the best-known
element of the Texas legend. This
book salutes the Rangers and serves
as a myth-breaker as well. The Ranger
$1.95
was either the defender of settlers or their hired
gun. To the settler and the businessman, the
Ranger stood for courage, peacekeeping, and
frontier resourcefulness; to his opponent, he
represented unhesitating violence, unrelenting
pursuit, and an unfair application of law.
Rangers served as Indian fighters, soldiers, and
peace officers, and eventually became part of
the Texas Department of Public Safety.

group's interdependence and unity in the face of
the unknown mirror one of the New Deal's
prescriptions for overcoming hardships during
the Great Depression.
