Here is a richly detailed, scrupulously researched, flawlessly executed, clearly written guide to each of the 300 largest cities in the great state of Texas from Abilene to Zapata. Delbert Ward has produced a compendium that will prove invaluable to students, teachers, historians, armchair travelers and about fifteen million Texans. Mr. Ward's approach is classically simple and straightforward. He alphabetically lists each city and proceeds to give us a succinct, informative and often entertaining sketch including its history, government, industry and agriculture, current population, location and access by transportation, climate and terrain, places and points of interest, special features, even the folklore, customs and atmosphere that make it special. Mr. Ward is exhaustive in this giant of a work and has a good eye for detail and fine ear for anecdote. The reader really does emerge satisfied that he knows everything he ever wanted or needed to know on the subject. Moreover, readers will discover a state far more dazzling and magnificent in its scope and variety than previously imagined. The Urban Stars in the Texas Crown is a volume designed for quick and easy reference, for settling arguments (and perhaps stirring up others), for selective study, and, for those with Mr. Ward's stamina, cover-to-cover reading as an indispensable contribution to knowledge. It seems the great state of Texas will owe Delbert R. Ward one great debt for a long time to come. Another star in the Texas crown. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by Author. …
