Gone to Texas: A History of the Lone Star State by Randolph B. Campbell (Lone Star Professor of History, Lone Star Professor of History, University of North Texas)
Gone to Texas engagingly tells the story of the Lone Star State, from the arrival of humans in the Panhandle more than 12,000 years ago to the second decade of the twenty-first century. Focusing on the state's successive waves of immigrants, the book offers an inclusive view of the vast array of Texans, who often in conflict with each other and always in struggle with the land, created a history and idea of Texas.
