Texas

Texas is unique, not only because it is the only state to enter the Union by way of a treaty, but because a clause in that treaty gives Texas the right, in perpetuity, to divide into as many a five separate states. These "Five States of Texas" reflect the remarkable geographic variety of this vast landscape. From the plains and mountains, beaches and deserts, forests and rugged canyons, the Texas terrain is as diverse as its many-faceted culture.Parent, Laurence E. is the author of 'Texas', published 1995 under ISBN 9781558682023 and ISBN 1558682023.
