LBJ goes from congressional secretary to director of the National Youth Administration (NYA) in his state, giving him the power to manage public works operations in Texas. He gets the appointment thru his cozying up of House Speaker Sam Rayburn, who personally met Roosevelt to give LBJ the job. Johnson is 26…

What???!!! LBJ is fawning towards the faculty at Southwest Texas State Teacher’s College in San Marcos to usurp favorable campus jobs??? He is a chronic liar to the point where his college peers dubbed him the nickname “Bullshit Johnson”???? Who would have thunk that!!!!

Because it IS crucial!!! We need to follow the Johnson and Bunton lineages to understand the economical hardships of LBJ’s forebears, therefore discovering the secrets behind LBJ’s deepest insecurities and fear of financial ruin/failure.

Yes, Mr. Caro, I do want to learn about the grass in the Texas Hill Country and how it deceived 19th century settlers into believing the land was fertile for crop cultivation, only to realize the soil was thin with bedrock underneath. Please write 2 full chapters on this subject alone!!!

It has begun. I’m not looking back. I’m taking on the 4-volume LBJ series. This’ll take at least a year for me to finish but I don’t care. Fuck me up, Robert Caro. Right now he’s just talking about the grass in the Texas Hill Country… I’m invested.
