Summary: The true story of the Texas frontier from the 1700s to 1880
Review: The collaborative work of Robert F. Pace (Chair of the Department of History, McMurry University, Abilene, Texas) and Donald S. Frazier (Professor of History, McMurry University, Abilene, Texas), Frontier Texas: History Of A Bordland To 1880 is the true story of the Texas frontier from the 1700s to 1880. From the Comanches who called it home, to the influence of the Spanish, the press of settlements, fallout from the Civil War, the eradication of the buffalo and the settlements that would transform the frontier forever, and much more, Frontier Texas is an amazing journey through time, illustrated with occasional black-and-white pictures, maps and photographs. A highly accessible history for lay readers and serious students alike.
