Summary Texas finds itself the site for many events from 1527 to the present, including the Battle of the Alamo. A richly compelling novel of a proud people eager to meet the marvelous challenge of the land, Texas is Michener's most magnificent achievement. This re-release of Michener's masterpiece ties in with the up-coming mini-series.
