When Americans turn on their laptops, play video games, go to church, eat TexMex, shope for groceries, listen to music, or watch football, they are (knowingly or not) paying tribute to Texas. Tracing profound and surprising stories, historian Benjamin Heber Johnson shines a new light on the surprising influence of the Lone Star State in Texas: An American History.
