This first-of-its-kind compilation shines a spotlight on the 50 designated national historic landmarks in Texas, combining accessible history with travel information to guide further exploration. The Lone Star State has a long and vibrant past, and this well-researched volume is designed to increase travelers' and residents' awareness of the state's most important historical treasures. With a chapter devoted to each of the designated national historic landmark sites within Texas, the guide provides a deeper, more holistic view of the history of the state's key historic sites-all of which boast critical importance to the future of the state and the country. For each national historic landmark, historian Tristan Smith provides a historical overview, which is accompanied by present-day and archival photos of the site, as well as practical visitor information and directions. The book is helpfully organized into themed sections (Forts & Military, Battlefields & War, Government, Entertainment, Industry & Innovation, Texas Heritage, Residential Life, and Archeological Sites), and the sites are pinpointed on state maps. A glossary of terms provides readers with the lingo they need to appreciate the historical significance of the locations. Texas residents and visitors alike will gain the context, inspiration, and helpful tips they need to launch their own deeper exploration of the history of Texas. AUTHOR: Tristan Smith is an independent historian living in Houston, Texas. He has worked for museums and nonprofits in Kansas, Missouri, and Texas for more than 25 years and has consulted with organizations and municipalities in historic preservation. 315 colour and b/w images
