Description

Tells the epic story of western Texas. The geography of the land made it a natural border between regions of settlement throughout most of its existence. Competing for that borderland for centuries were millions of bison and the nomadic Plains Indians who followed them. Then came the Spanish explorers, and then the Americans with their forts, settlements, and cattle. With this mix of competitors, the region's history was one of conflict and survival.
