Road, River & Ol' Boy Politics: A Texas County's Path from Farm to Supersuburb

Beschreibung

In 1946 Williamson County was profoundly rural, centered on an agricultural economy, ethnically diverse, and Democratic. Half a century later, it was one of the five fastest-growing counties in the United States, staunchly Republican, and culturally homogeneous. This book presents the story of how this came about.
