THE BOSTON GLOBE
Texas. A land of sprawling diversity and unparalleled richness; a dazzling chapter in the history of our nation, a place like no other on earth. Through the remarkable lives of four families, this epic saga spans four centuries and two continents and charts the dramatic formation of several great dynasties from the age of the conquistadors to the present day. A richly compelling novel of a proud people eager to meet the challenge of the land, TEXAS is James Michener's most magnificent achievement.

Texas This book was 1322 thin pages with small print and took me a while to read it, but it was worth every minute. I lived in Dallas for 4 year and Houston for 4 years and I learned a whole lot more about Texas. The history as well as the state is a very diverse culture. Loved the state and loved the book.
