Synopsis

From the front flap of the dustjacket: "'A love of place, a fierce loyalty to the state, and a desire to advance its power and prestige' -- these characteristics of nationalism describe the feelings of Texans toward their nation-state in the nineteenth century and still persist in half-humorous cliche's about Texas bigness and uniqueness. According to this book, fervent nationalism was both an understandable result of and an important causal factor in Texas history."
