This is the story of how a myth began, with the Texas Revolution against Mexico, cattle drives, and hyperactive Texas Rangers, and became embodied in larger-than-life figures, from Sam Houston to Speaker Sam Rayburn, from the explorer La Salle to L. B. J. It is also the story of a state larger than its myth, a Confederate state that contained enclaves of pro-Union German-Americans, a football-loving state that produced musicians of the sensitivity of Scott Joplin and Van Cliburn, a western state that also is Southern, Mexican, and Spanish in its influences.
