Book Description
The Texas Connection, a history of the Church Of God In Christ, in Texas is a must have for anyone interested in a history of COGIC and various movements. These rich histories are covered from a national and a Texas focused perspective, which starts with several bands of saints looking for a better way. Among these saints were those who were born free and ex-slaves removed from slavery by only one or maybe two generations. The Texas Connection covers many historical facts of the National COGIC, the current and past jurisdictions of Texas, the districts of these Texas jurisdictions, the local churches of these districts and some of the local personalities. Many of these histories have been documented in several accounts and by word of mouth stories passed down for many generations. For the first time the Texas Connection brings together these histories, chronologically and pictorially recorded in one place. This record also brings to light the true name of the mother COGIC church in Texas, and many other little known and interesting facts. Did you know the fire for the Azusa Revivals was actually lit in Kansas? It then made its way to Houston, Texas, where it picked up Pastor W. J. Seymour and then landed in Los Angeles, California, on Azusa Street. The Texas Connection brings these histories and personalities to life chronologically and pictorially which sets it apart from other accounts and takes it to the next level of this historical journey. These histories are covered from the start to present day and will be updated every quadrennial. This version is printed in black and white. A full color version is also available.

Book Description
"Author Edward L. Miller has delved into previously unused or overlooked papers housed in New Orleans to reconstruct a chain of events that set the Crescent City, in many ways, at the center of the Texian fight for independence. Not only did Now Orleans business interests send money and men to Texas in exchange for promises of land, but they also provided newspaper coverage that set the scene for later American annexation of the young republic."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
In 1955, Frank X. Tolbert, a well-known columnist for the Dallas Morning News, circumnavigated Texas with his nine-year-old-son in a Willis Jeep. The column he phoned in to the newspaper about his adventures, "Tolbert's Texas," was a staple of Walt Davis's childhood. Fifty years later, Walt and his wife, Isabel, have re-explored portions of Tolbert’s trek along the boundaries of Texas. The border of Texas is longer than the Amazon River, running through ten distinct ecological zones as it outlines one of the most familiar shapes in geography. According to the Davises, "Driving its every twist and turn would be like driving from Miami to Los Angeles by way of New York." Each of this book’s sixteen chapters opens with an original drawing by Walt, representing a segment of the Texas border where the authors selected a special place—a national park, a stretch of river, a mountain range, or an archeological site. Using a firsthand account of that place written by a previous visitor (artist, explorer, naturalist, or archeologist), they then identified a contemporary voice (whether biologist, rancher, river-runner, or paleontologist) to serve as a modern-day guide for their journey of rediscovery. This dual perspective allows the authors to attach personal stories to the places they visited, to connect the past with the present, and to compare Texas then with Texas now. Whether retracing botanist Charles Wright's 600-mile walk to El Paso in 1849 or paddling Houston's Buffalo Bayou, where John James Audubon saw ivory-billed woodpeckers in 1837, the Davises seek to remind readers that passionate and determined people wrote the state's natural history. Anyone interested in Texas or its rich natural heritage will find deep enjoyment in Exploring the Edges of Texas. Publication of this book is generously supported by a memorial gift in honor of Mary Frances "Chan" Driscoll, a founding member of the Advisory Council of Texas A&M University Press, by her sons Henry B. Paup '70 and T. Edgar Paup '74.
