Book Review

The Human Tradition in Texas. Edited by Ty Cashion and Jesus F. de la Teja. (Wilm-ington, DE: SR Books, 2001. xxiii + 239 pp. $50 cloth; $18.95, paper.)

The Human Tradition in Texas marks the ninth book in the Human Tradition in America series. Each volume looks at a particular period or topic and consists of mini-biographies. The essays cover famous and lesser known people whose lives reveal the diversity of the American people, and also the similar experiences of Americans in the development of our society. 1

The fifteen essays in The Human Tradition in Texas cover people from Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca, Louis T. Wigfall, and William Henry Bush, to Bob Wills, Hermine Tobolowsky, and Gary Gaines. The phrase "the human tradition" refers to the ways in which countless men and women of various races, religions, and economic backgrounds forged the sense of "Texas-ness" that is unique to the state. For centuries, these people in the book left their mark on the heritage of Texas. The history of Texas, therefore, can be seen through the eyes of its people. . . .
