Theme description: Whether you were born and raised here or have grown into your Texan status, it’s clear that this state is one of a kind, from its rich history to its diverse landscapes and populations. We will explore the past and present of the Lone Star State from a variety of perspectives to attempt to define what Texas means to us.

Suggestion List:
Fiction
"The Gates of the Alamo" by Stephen Harrigan
"The Buckskin Line" by Elmer Kelton
"Thunder and Rain" by Charles Martin
"Lonesome Dove" by Larry McMurtry
"All I Have in this World" by Michael Parker
Non-fiction
"Texas Eats" by Robb Walsh

"The Liars’ Club" by Mary Karr
"Texas Blood" by Roger D. Hodge
"God Save Texas" by Lawrence Wright
"Texas Rising" by Stephen L. Moore
"Texas Women" by Elizabeth Turner, Stephanie Cole, and Rebecca Sharpless

Another lesser-known suggestion for the list: "I'll Gather My Geese" by Hallie Crawford Stillwell. It's an autobiography. She's a Texas original who moved to the Big Bend area at age 19, during the time of Pancho Villa. Very entertaining book about an iconic Texas woman (she's in the Texas Cowgirl Hall of Fame in FW) and area.

Great suggestion! Thanks, Diane!
