About This Item
NY: Macmillan, 1968. Second Printing. FINE/very good. State map endpapers, no names, no writing, 76lpp., index, bibliographical notes and suggested reading, price unclipped dj in archival mylar cover.
Contains the 10 page bibliography not in the first printing. Insisted on by the publishers though the author didnot see it was necessary, he did go back and reconstruct this one which he calls "bibliographical notes and suggested further reading." Interestingly, this printing is less often seen than the first; though it was reprinted many times and those editions are still available. Nice clean giftable copy. Has been widely considered the most intelligent history of any state published and a particular favorite of Texans.
"Mr. Fehrenbach wrote in a grand, sweeping manner reminiscent of epic histories of the West by Francis Parkman and Bernard DeVoto. His florid style borrowed elements from the 18th-century cadences of Edward Gibbon whose The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire was an early inspiration and from the King James Bible". - Washington Post
