  • "The place names of Texas are landmarks of American history: Fort Worth, Laredo, the Alamo and, in this century, Dallas, Austin and Houston. A task force of prominent Texans gathers to prepare a history of their state. From this simple beginning the author combines fact and fiction to write the story of four Texan families, from the early 16th century blend of colonial piety and profit to the dynasties of the oil and cattle barons of today."@en
  • "A novel about the birth, the rise, and the history of Texas. Follows the turbulent lives of Texans from the first daring settlers of the rugged Mexican territory to the oil riggers, tycoons, and power players of today."@en
  • "Traces the history of development of the state of Texas from the early 16th century to the mid 1980's. The territory was contested by the Spaniards, French, British and Mexicans. Indian wars, the arrival of settlers, the great cattle ranches and the development of the oil industry all figure in the story. The personal story of four great Texas families--one Spanish, one Mexican, one German and one Scots-Irish--adds spice to the tale."@en
  • "This epic saga spans four generations and two continents and charts the dramatic fortunes of several great dynasties from the age of the conquistadors to today."@en
