About This Book

A concise narrative traces two centuries of the region now called Texas, from early European exploration and colonial outposts through the building of missions and presidios, patterns of frontier settlement, and frequent clashes with Indigenous peoples. It follows disputes over borders and governance, waves of settler colonization, the struggle for independence and the republic period, annexation and statehood, the Civil War and Reconstruction, and economic and social development into the twentieth century. The account emphasizes differing colonization methods, the roles of military and religious institutions, periodic utopian experiments, and the emergence of distinctive local institutions, presenting events as a connected chronicle of regional growth.
