Single Star of the West

With its distinguished array of authors and impressive array of topics, this volume will be welcomed by readers of Texas history. Buenger’s essay alone gives Single Star of the West a raison d’etre—frankly, it is one of the smartest things I’ve read in quite some time."" - Patrick G. Williams, author of Beyond Redemption: Texas Democrats after Reconstruction
 
""The editors have done an excellent job compiling a wide-ranging and comprehensive collection of essays. The book is well-organized, with a good mix of major themes and important political figures. Some articles are certainly stronger than others, but all have something to contribute, making this volume by far the best anthology on the Republic period available."" - Sam W. Haynes, author of Soldiers of Misfortune: The Somervell and Mier Expeditions and co-editor of Contested Empire: Rethinking the Texas Revolution
