The Texas Chronicles

$24.95

The Texas Chronicles is an easy-to-read history of Texas — from the earliest times to present day.

The main feature of the book includes a six-foot-long fold-out timeline, which is such a great way to showcase historical moments in history.

The front portion of the book features short articles about various moments in history, such as “Spanish Clash with New Power — The Comanches,” “Austin Founds the First Anglo Colony,” “Massacre at Goliad fort,” “Alamo Disaster!” “Revolution in Farming,” “Spindletop Starts Black Gold Rush,” and many more.

The 6-foot timeline at the back of the book is a treasure trove of information, presented in a timeline format. A key to the timeline indicates whether the item is about commerce and agriculture, conflict, heritage and culture, politics and civil rights, science and engineering, and exploration and adventure.

This book is a gold mine for anyone interested in learning about Texas history, or teaching it.

Written by Mark Skipworth and created byChristopher Lloyd, in partnership with the Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin. Measures almost 9×12″ and contains color and black-and-white photographs.
