Gr 3-6 With concise and accurate information, these books are good for beginning Texana researchers. Civil War discusses the state's involvement in the war, the Battle of Galveston and the Battle of Sabine Pass, as well as influential leaders. The Alamo follows the chronological events leading up to the battle, but the book's main focus is the leaders. Biographical information on Houston, Bowie, Crockett, and Travis is provided. Missions tells why the Franciscans built missions in Texas from the first one in 1632 to their demise in the early 1800s. The failure to convert the Native Americans led Spain to abandon the concept. Native Americans covers tribes by area. A few noteworthy leaders such as Geronimo and Quanah Parker are given tribute. Appearance, clothing, food, and shelter are briefly outlined. Large historical and modern photos, illustrations, and maps, most in full color, appear on every page. Captions are detailed and include additional tidbits. Attractive and useful for Texas libraries.
