Texas is the only state in the union that was once an independent nation. Perhaps its this independent spirit--and the states vast size--that has created the grand diversity that is Texas. "Our Texas" is a pictorial celebration that showcases our states stunning vistas, offering a glimpse into what makes the region so unique. 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, from the nightlife of Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth to the Spanish flavor of the Plains, "Our Texas" celebrates the natural, historical, and cultural aspects of the Lone Star State.

Review:

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. 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.”
