The larger-than-life story of the Lone Star State Encapsulating the 500-year saga of the one-of-a-kind state of Texas, this interactive book takes readers from the founding of the Spanish Missions and the victory at San Jacinto to the Great Storm that destroyed Galveston and the establishment of NASA's Mission Control in Houston while covering everything in between. Texas History for Kids includes 21 informative and fun activities to help readers better understand the state's culture, politics, and geography. Kids will recreate one of the six national flags that have flown over the state, make castings of local wildlife tracks, design a ranch's branding iron, celebrate Juneteenth by reciting General Order Number 3, build a miniature Battle of Flowers float, and more. This valuable resource also includes a timeline of significant events, a list of historic sites to visit or explore online, and web resources for further study.
Whether they left home as fast as they could or would never dream of leaving, this collection is about the folks from Waylon County in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. A nine-time bride is faced with a law stopping her from marrying again. A military contractor, fresh from Afghanistan, enters the Wailin¿ Biscuit Café with a comfort monkey on his back, and a bookman descended from Spanish explorers discovers an incredible treasure. Waylon County is Texas itself. It is a place of fable, satire, and the slow drawl of truth.
Comprised of short stories and prose from Texas authors, the Houston Writers House invites you to take a journey deep in the heart of Texas
A collection of 22 stories by Texas women writers that weave a story of their own: the story of women's writing in the Lone Star State, from 1865 to the present. Authors include Berverly Lowry, Carolyn Osborn, Annette Sanford, Denise Chavez, Katherine Anne Porter, Judy Alter and Joyce Gibson Roach.
This first edition contains Judy Alter's "Sue Ellen Learns to Dance," the 1998 recipient of first-place short story awards from both the National Cowboy Hall of Fame & the Western Writers of America. In addition, Texas Short Stories contains Joyce Gibson Roach's "In Broad Daylight," also a finalist in that year's Spur competition. This popular anthology, edited by B. B. Hill of Dallas, captures the diverse Texas experience. Columnist Judyth Rigler comments on the anthology's editor: Billy Bob Hill of Dallas, a quiet man who looks nothing like the image of the rough & tough, good old boy called up by his name, has been working for many years to showcase the talents of Texas writers adept at the short-story form." And novelist Sarah Bird says of Hill's Texas Short Stories: "At a time when lots of Lone Star writers are banking on crime novels & film scripts, Texas short story writers continue to patrol the smaller venues, sending back microcosmic reports from off-ramp towns, keeping the faith. Billy Bob Hill's anthology contains a wealth of Texas tales." To order contact: Browder Springs Books, P.O. Box 823521, Dallas, TX 75382, phone: (214) 368-4360. Fax: 214-739-9149.
