Book Description hardcover. Condition: As New. Charles Shaw (illustrator). 2 volume set. No slip case, just the books. One red, one blue, both form the gold star of Texas! (xviii, 918 pages) : illustrations ; 31 cm. Spanning four and a half centuries, James A. Michenerâ s monumental saga chronicles the epic history of Texas, from its Spanish roots in the age of the conquistadors to its current reputation as one of Americaâ s most affluent, diverse, and provocative states. Among his finely drawn cast of characters, emotional and political alliances are made and broken, as the loyalties established over the course of each turbulent age inevitably collapse under the weight of wealth and industry. This is an oversized or heavy book, which requires additional postage for international delivery outside the US. "Published on the occasion of the Texas Sesquicentennial, March 2, 1986.".
