There is a lot of material in this book. Since it is restricted to the Texas panhandle, there is room for pretty detailed coverage. There are only a few maps but there is are 43 pages of notes and a 14 page bibliography. That is then followed by an index, making the book a pretty good reference of Panhandle history.. ( )

The Texas Panhandle―its eastern edge descending sharply from the plains into the canyons of Palo Duro, Tule, Quitaque, Casa Blanca, and Yellow House―is as rich in history as it is in natural beauty. Long considered a crossroads of ancient civilizations, the twenty-six northernmost Texas counties lie on the southern reaches of the Great Plains, where numerous dry creek beds and the Canadian River have carved the region appropriately named the High Plains. Through these plains and their canyons, ancient peoples trailed game for the hunt. The Panhandle provided choice grazing lands for bison, and as the region became more familiar to ancient tribes, semipermanent camps marked the landscape.
