Résumé
Potential immigrants to Texas in the nineteenth century were fed romantic notions about this land aplenty. Some painted it a savage and exciting country.

Author Doughty reconstructs and analyzes the way nineteenth century settlers developed an attachment to the land in order to make it their true home
