The Texas of vast open spaces inhabited by independent, self-reliant men and women may be more of a dream than a reality for the state's largely urban population, but it still exists in the Big Bend. One of the most sparsely settled areas of the United States, the Big Bend attracts people who are willing to forego many modern conveniences for a lifestyle that proclaims don't fence me in. Marcia Hatfield Daudistel and Bill Wright believe that the character traits exemplified by folks in the Big Bend--including self-sufficiency, friendliness, and neighborliness--go back to the founding of the state. In this book, they introduce us to several dozen Big Bend residents--old and young, long-settled and recently arrived, racially diverse--who show us what it means to be an authentic Texan.
