Texas Then and Now Synopsis

This revised and updated edition of Texas Then and Now features the most prominent locations from around the state, pairing vintage photographs with modern shots of the same famous locations today.

The Lone Star State: home to thirty million people, the base of multiple sports teams, over two hundred colleges and much, much more.

Travel with us to each corner of Texas and learn what makes this a state like no others. Included on these pages are many of the great Texan universities, tourist draws in Austin and Galveston, the historic oil strike at Spindletop, the old stockyards of Fort Worth, the Texas State Capitol in Austin, and the state fairgrounds in Dallas.

This collection of Texas landmarks provides a vivid portrait of a dynamic and expanding state, but one that has not forgotten its rich and enduring history. Discover the politics, conflicts and history of the famous figures who lived here and how they've left their mark on buildings, landmarks and the cities themselves.

Featuring sites in: Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Houston, Galveston, Beaumont, Washington-on-the-Brazos, College Station, Waco, Hillsboro, Dallas, Fort Worth, Amarillo and Lubbock.

Perfect for those born and bred in Texas, anyone wanting to learn more about American history or those who want to be tourists on a ranch for a day.
