Book excerpt: Since long before the advent of theme parks, Texans have paid homage to the history of their land under the banners of six nations. Nineteenth century writer Molly E. Moore Davis has given us a very readable (and richly detailed, considering its length) account of the land and people of Texas under each of those flags. Written with attention to fact over glory, it is a source of valuable historical interest, including some details that may have been lost to general public knowledge over time. Famed as a poet and a novelist, Molly E. Moore spent her youth in Texas and gave special attention to that state in both mediums. Her Massachusetts-born father moved his family first to Alabama and then Texas a decade before the Civil War. Davis spent her married life and most of her writing career in New Orleans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Under Six Flags, the Story of Texas But the history of Texas is far more than a romantic legend. It is a record of bold conceptions and bolder deeds the story of the discoverer penetrating unknown wildernesses; of the pioneer matching his strength against the savage of the colo nist struggling for his freedom and his rights. It is the chronicle of the birth of a people; the history of the rise and progress of a great State. I have tried in these simple readings so to arrange the salient points of a drama of two centuries as to present a consistent whole. And I shall be happy if I shall succeed in awakening in the reader somewhat of the interest in Texas history which has inspired this work.

Download or read book Branding Texas written by Leigh Clemons and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ask anyone to name an archetypal Texan, and you're likely to get a larger-than-life character from film or television (say John Wayne's Davy Crockett or J. R. Ewing of TV's Dallas) or a politician with that certain swagger (think LBJ or George W. Bush). That all of these figures are white and male and bursting with self-confidence is no accident, asserts Leigh Clemons. In this thoughtful study of what makes a "Texan," she reveals how Texan identity grew out of the history—and, even more, the myth—of the heroic deeds performed by Anglo men during the Texas Revolution and the years of the Republic and how this identity is constructed and maintained by theatre and other representational practices. Clemons looks at a wide range of venues in which "Texanness" is performed, including historic sites such as the Alamo, the battlefield at Goliad, and the San Jacinto Monument; museums such as the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum; seasonal outdoor dramas such as Texas! at Palo Duro Canyon; films such as John Wayne's The Alamo and the IMAX's Alamo: The Price of Freedom; plays and TV shows such as the Tuna trilogy, Dallas, and King of the Hill; and the Cavalcade of Texas performance at the 1936 Texas Centennial. She persuasively demonstrates that these performances have created a Texan identity that has become a brand, a commodity that can be sold to the public and even manipulated for political purposes.
