Robin and Joy Montgomery trace the evolution of this region beginning with the birth of the province of Texas through Ren Robert Cavelier Sieur de La Salles influence with Spain to the modern pioneers who provide inspiration for Texas and beyond.

the gravesite of Sam Houston;Huntsvilles Andrew Female College;Bedias, home to the original Native Americans; andthe Alamo, where William B. Travis drew a line in the sand.
