“The time is the present. A task force of prominent Texans gathers to prepare a history of the state.
From this simple beginning James A. Michener has woven his traditional magic.
Starting in the early 16th century, he traces the fortunes of four great Texan families: one Scots-Irish, one German, one Spanish, one Mexican. From the colonial blend of piety and greed which drove the Spanish settlers of Mexico northward in search of lost cities, to the dynastic majesty of the oil and cattle barons of today, he creates a dazzling array of Texans, rich and poor, saints and sinners, pioneers and profiteers.”
