Following up Texas, My Texas: Musings of the Rambling Boy with a second collection of essays, Lonn Taylor’s Texas People, Texas Places again explores the very best of Texas geography, Texas history, and Texas personalities. In a state so famous for its pride, Taylor manages to write an exceptionally honest, witty, and wise book about Texas past and Texas present.
Texas People, Texas Places is a story of men and women and places that have made this state great. From a small-town radio host to tight-fisted West Texas ranchers, and even to Taylor’s own family members, Taylor’s subjects paint a profound and dynamic picture.
Lonn Taylor shares anecdotes that will appeal to any Texan, in a voice that is as personal as it is unique.
Lonn Taylor retired to Fort Davis, Texas, after a twenty-year career as a historian at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History in Washington, DC, USA.
