The Big Bend : A History of the Last Texas Frontier (Book)

Combines an understanding of the region's physical setting with a clear description of its exploration and settlement. Illustrations show how the park was seen by the Native Americans, early settlers, the U.S. Army, smugglers, and illegal immigrants. Interesting fact - Amon G. Carter led the drive to raise public moneys to buy and donate the land that is now Big Bend National Park. (High School (9-12); College/Adult)
