This story moves along at a very fast pace and is wonderfully romantic. The characters are lively and the plot is refreshing. You can't help but love this book.

The stunning beauty of Texas caves can be seen in the book's many photographs (both color and black & white). The first part of the book gives a brief overview of the geology of Texas caves and cave biology. It provides descriptions of the seven largest "show caves" in the state (including directions, length of tour, camping, facilities, nearby motels, etc). State speleological parks which offer wild cave tours (through undeveloped caves) are also mentioned. The second part of the book includes chapters contributed by well-known Texas cavers. As a Texas caver myself, I was really happy to see a section on "Guide to Caving Etiquette," which can be useful to any reader who wants to know more about cave safety, Texas caving organizations, and establishing landowner relations. Another bonus is a chapter that includes tips for cave photography. This is a good companion book to "The Caves and Karst of Texas" which was put out by the National Speleological Society (1994).

This index is so much easier to use than the 1880 soundex. Included in this book are all households in the 1880 census.....even households without children under 10. They have been concise and their efforts to effectively index the 1880 Texas census are superb!

I'll admit that this book touches my heart since it includes photos of Santas created by my Mom and me!! The pictures of the San Angelo Christmas at Old Fort Concho are wonderful along with the pictorials of Texas at its happiest. The recipes that I have tried live up to their press which is a pleasant surprise in this day of cookbooks! If you are from Texas, you need this book!! If you aren't from Texas, you'll love this book and wish you could celebrate right along with us!!!

It is a clear concise printing of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code which is an essential part of any Texas Lawyer's library

Huson is known for his priceless histories of south Texas. His daughter Kathleen Maxwell has done a fabulous job of editing the deceased authors notes and bringing us this informative piece. It is very helpful for decendents of people from the Texas coastal area.

He would never give up...

Mariah Palmer had lived on the Brazos River all her life. It was her land, her home and one day she would see it free from Mexico forever. And if Santa Anna thought that his henchman, Matthew Cade, would take it from her, he was sadly mistaken. She would never give in to the debonair soldier of fortune who tried to charm and cajole her with his suave, good looks and expensive gifts. Instead, she would seduce him with soft kisses, and the promise of her virtue. And she knew that when she was through with the traitorous Mr Cade he would grant her every wish...

She would never give in...

Matthew Cade always accomplished his missions, no matter how dangerous or difficult. But no one had warned him that this time the one obstacle to his sucess was a violet-eyed beauty with sun-red hair that shone like flames....

Texas Constables: A Frontier Heritage is a compelling history of a the Texas Constable, a branch of law enforcement quite distinct from the better known Texas Rangers, U.S. Marshals, and even the town marshals that dominate the legends and lore of Texas law enforcement. From the establishment of the Texas Republic to its transformation to being the Lone Star State, down to the present day, Texas Constables offers a compendium of facts, personalities and events that will prove deeply engaging for both the history and the western history buff. For example, the cattle thief turned Texas constable who killed infamous outlaw John Wesley Harding in 1895 -- only to be later gunned down himself by a United States Marshall. Texas Constables is a welcome and valued addition to the annals of Western Frontier history in general, and the history of Texas law enforcement in particular.

Mary Koock's The Texas Cookbook: From Barbecue To Banquet - An Informal View Of Dining And Entertaining The Texas Way is a wonderful collection of recipes and anecdotal stories the showcase the diversity of Texas cuisine ranging from down-home cooking to high-class affairs, and from regional favorites to ethnic specialities. From Mom's Potato Cake; Lime Light Pie; Watermelon Cake; and Sam's Charcoaled Fish; to Mae Shepherd's Curry Chicken Salad; Bernice Rosalind's Lemon Bisque; Honey Walnut Bread, and Jean Kritser's Pickled Okra, The Texas Cookbook is a superbly presented, highly recommended compendium of fine eating and background stories.

Lots of Texas-themed food here, and recipes from famous people and restaurants. Some are really gourmet, others are stuff anyone could make, like your basic Texas bbq. Even though it's mostly a cookbook, I thought the best part was all the photos of Texas scenery. Very nice.
