About this title

Synopsis

“. . . the ultimate road trip, celebrating the remarkable history, natural history, and diversity of the Lone Star State. . . .”—Robert McCracken Peck, The Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia

“Walt and Isabel Davis bring decades of experience in natural history and love of Texas to this delightfully written account of the escapades along its edges. It is history and travel writing at its best and suggests many weekend trips that you will want to take. Be sure to take this book along with you.”—Ron Tyler, Amon Carter Museum

“Their entertaining, enlightening book reflects their considerable skills as they explored historical, and sometimes still controversial, sites along the Texas borders. . . they have created a wealth of fresh observations about the rich cultural and natural histories of Texas’ border areas. . . will inspire others to explore the state’s lengthy edges, as well as its vast interior.”—Si Dunn, Fort Worth Star Telegram
