True Texas History changes your view of many Texans along with how they shaped the world, United States policies and the 20th century world. Texas has always been about more than oil and cattle, yet has been portrayed as being behind the times, when the reality is that it has been Texans and their ideas that have shaped the world in major ways. Find out how they changed your life in ways you never imagined.
It also includes how Texas lost the New Mexico territory, the plans for Texas to “Go it alone” which included a break from the Confederate States of America and how the Lone Star Republic discovered its flag after losing it. There are also accounts of the Texas Rangers along with the Buffalo Soldiers and their roles in taming the frontier.
Since Texans are interested in what their fellow Texans accomplished, an approach is taken that shows the accomplishment of early shapers of Texas. By including anecdotes and quotes of these early shapers, they can speak for themselves and the times in which they lived as Texas went through the Republic, Statehood, the Confederate States and Reconstruction.
