SynopsisTexas is the only state in the union that was once an independent nation. Perhaps it's this independent spirit--and the state's vast size--that has created the grand diversity that is Texas. From the big skies of the panhandle to the inviting beaches of the Gulf Coast, from the forests of the Piney Woods region to the wildflowers of the Hill Country, the Lone Star State boasts a great diversity in its natural treasures and cultures. With spectacular photographs and informative captions, "Our Texas is an armchair tour of one of the most rugged, independent, and striking states in the country. "Our Texas is a rich presentation of the stunning sites around the state, including national parks, cattle ranches, mountain and coastal vistas, and major cities. Readers will visit such popular spots as Big Bend National Park, Padre Island National Sea Shore, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Houston, Austin, and The Alamo., Texas is the only state in the union that was once an independent nation.

ReviewsEast TexasHistorical Association,Fall 2006 "Perhaps some would be perplexed at the need for yet another 'pretty' picture book with the Alamo adorning its cover and its contents extolling the grandeur of the great state of Texas. Even as a native enthusiast eager to see Texas universally recognized as a former nation, I was not convinced of the book's necessity. As I slowly absorbed the visual cornucopia by some of America's best photographers, I changed my mind. "The book is a perfect gift for family and friends, and unlike many such books, it has great value; I recommend it to anyone who loves beautiful color photographs of Texas' natural environment.", East Texas Historical Association, Fall 2006 “Perhaps some would be perplexed at the need for yet another ‘pretty’ picture book with the Alamo adorning its cover and its contents extolling the grandeur of the great state of Texas.
