"This book ranks as the best overall study of the French experience in Texas ever assembled. It will be useful to both specialists and general readers curious about the many French accomplishments and failures in Texas."--Jack Jackson, editor of Texas by Teran: The Diary Kept by General Manuel de Mier y Teran on His 1828 Inspection of TexasThe flag of France is one of the six flags that have flown over Texas, but all that many people know about the French presence in Texas is the ill-fated explorer Cavelier de La Salle, fabled pirate Jean Laffite, or Cajun music and food. Yet the French have made lasting contributions to Texas history and culture that deserve to be widely known and appreciated. In this book, Franois Lagarde and thirteen other experts present original articles that explore the French presence and influence on Texas history, arts, education, religion, and business from the arrival of La Salle in 1685 to 2002. Each article covers an important figure or event in the France-Texas story. The historical articles thoroughly investigate early French colonists and explorers, the French pirates and privateers, the Bonapartists of Champ-d'Asile, the French at the Alamo, Dubois de Saligny and French recognition of the Republic of Texas, the nineteenth-century utopists of Icaria and Reunion, and the French Catholic missions. Other articles deal with French immigration in Texas, including the founding of Castroville, Cajuns in Texas, and the French economic presence in Texas today (the first such study ever published). The remaining articles look at painters Theodore and Marie Gentilz, sculptor Raoul Josset, French architecture in Texas, French travelers from Theodore Pavie to Simonede Beauvoir who have written on Texas, and the French heritage in Texas education. More than seventy color and black-and-white illustrations complement the text.

Texas in Poetry can be read straight through as a commentary on life in the Lone Star State. Or it can be read a poem or author at a time. But if read straight through from "I'll Take Texas" to "No Quittin' Sense" the whole Texas experience as seen by more than a hundred poets cannot fail to make an impact on the reader. Editor Billy Bob Hill includes such poets as Mirabeau B. Lamar, a Texas president and poetaster from the days of the Republic; Berta Harte Nance, author of the centennial poem that begins "Other states were carved or born/But Texas grew from hide and horn"--lines that furnished at least one book title and occasioned a number of parodies. And, of course, one poem about Texas that is magnificent in its awfulness, "Laska, " with memorable lines like "Scratches don't count/In Texas down by the Rio Grande." But most of the poems in this large, handsome volume are much superior to the representative early poems included. All the well-known poets in the state are included -- riters like Walter McDonald, Betsy Colquitt, and Vassar Miller -- as well as newer writers. Nor has the editor failed to offer a generous sampling of the state's best minority voices -- Carmen Tafolla, Rolando Hinojosa, Lorenzo Thomas, Jas. Mardis, Ray Gonzalez, and Teresa Paloma Acosta. The volume is divided into sections with titles suggested by well-known books by Texas authors. Some of the sections are "I'll Take Texas" (from Mary Lasswell's book); "Faces of Blood Kindred" (William Goyen's original title); "This Stubborn Soil" (from the first volume of William A. Owens's autobiography); and, from A. C. Greene's memoir about West Texas, "A Personal Country." Texas in Poetry is a revised andupdated edition of Hill's popular and definitive Texas in Poetry: A 150-Year Anthology. In this volume, as in the previous edition, Hill presents a selection of representative Texas poems from the early days of the colony to the beginning of the twenty-first century.
