Charles Chupp

Broschiertes Buch

The Neglected Texas History Reader

Beschreibung

Ever wonder about the origin of the De Leon, Texas, Watermelon Festival? Perhaps its birth had something to do with the original discovery of Texas in 1521. In The NTH Reader, the book that is nothing like your old history book, you'll find the answer to this query alongside many other witty twists Charles Chupp tells of Texas's tales from way back. He serves up a humorous history of the stories historians skipped by poking fun, telling tales, and gently restructuring the truth about the events that led to statehod and beyond.
