For more than one hundred years some of the finest articles on the 
history of Texas have appeared in the Southwestern Historical 
Quarterly published by the Texas State Historical Association.

    The editors of the newest edition of this classic Texas history 
anthology have brought together eighteen essays (fifteen of which 
were published in the past two decades) that illustrate the rich 
diversity of Texas history, especially in the areas of gender and ethnic 
studies, and include the writings of some of today's most respected 
Texas historians. Like the previous editions, this book is designed for 
both the student and the general reader seeking an authoritative 
overview of Texas history.
