The Final Game
Michael Hart
Own this beautiful visual record of the entire time Craig was on the field, from the minute he walked into the dugout and surveyed the setting, until his final farewell and waves to the crowd as he entered the dugout tunnel for the last time as an active player. It includes his first at-bat, and subsequent hit, the last of his career, and his 668th double, most ever by a right-handed hitter, and 6th all-time. It is a record of his play, his emotions, his interaction with his family, and the crowd that was there to salute and honor him.

$34.95 Buy | El Vaquero Real
The Original American Cowboy
John Dyer
The Vaquero was in Texas before there was a Texas. They came north from Mexico with the big Spanish land grants of the 18th century. Descended from a long, illustrious line of mounted riders, the Vaquero can trace his ancestry many hundreds of years ago to the North African riders of Morocco, to the original Vaqueros in Spain, and to Mexico. When Captain King and other early ranchers came into South Texas and began amassing huge swathes of land, it was the Vaquero who enabled him to go into the cattle business. It was the Vaquero who taught the Anglo cowboy everything he needed to know about cattle and horses. ... More » | | | |  Hard Cover

Portraits of Texas
Michael O'Brien
Texas! Hearing the word "Texas" conjures images of a state as diverse as it is large. And Michael and Elizabeth O'Brien's The Face Of Texas captures the array of people -- from common folks 'done well,' such as Willie Nelson, who sings to the nation, to a couple who have gone to Washington to lead the nation and reside in the White House, yet still have Texas branded deep in their hearts and souls. Michael's well-visualized and executed photographs of the "Faces" of Texas pair with the journalistic skills of Elizabeth, his wife, who has penned portraits of Michael's subjects, giving the reader a visual panoramic of Texas...

$49.95 Buy | Historic Texas Courthouses
Michael A. Andrews
There is no more eloquent expression of a civilization’s economic progress and cultural maturity than its civic architecture. The historic courthouses of Texas testify to the independence and fortitude of a resolute people determined to wrench order out of the devastation of Civil War and to enforce justice on a frontier advanced beyond the reaches of law. During the late nineteenth century and early years of the twentieth—termed by author Michael Andrews “the Great Age of Texas Courthouses”—county courthouses rose as the predominant symbols of progress and stability, optimism and robust community pride. ...
