Title: This stubborn self
First published: 2002
Description: "According to Bert Almon, Texas autobiographies reveal as much about the state as about their authors, recording geography and history, economic, social and religious practices. A. sense of place distinguishes Texas autobiographical writing, for it springs from a state considered unique by its citizens and the world in general.

Texas' history - migrations, war with Mexico, brief nationhood, slavery, Indian Wars, the Civil War, the Mexican diaspora of the twentieth century - contributes to what Almon calls Texas' "exceptionalism.""--BOOK JACKET.
