Today's history teacher has available the materials to make history the most dynamic and vital subject in the curriculum. Within the scope of this second revised edition of Teaching Texas History: An All- Level Resource Guide are to be found scores of teaching aids, which, used pertinently, will enrich, make relevant, and add just plain fun to the teaching of Texas history and geography. These materials will help students see what history is really about. It was more than twenty-five years ago that the Texas State Historical Association first became involved with helping teachers of Texas history. In 1969 the Association, the Texas Education Agency, and the twenty regional educational service centers came togetherto form the Texas History Education Advisory Committee, whose task it was to assess the teaching of Texas history and make recommendations toward its improvement. The committee proposed publishinga bib- liography that would include supplementary materials to assist those who teach Texas history. The result: the publication, in 1973, of a thirty-five-page guide titled, Texas History Teacher's Guide to Supplementary Materials and Professional Bibliography. A decade later, following consultation with the TEA and the Texas Committee for the Humanities, the TSHA updated and expanded the original guide. This later Guide's publication, in the summer of 1985, was timely: House Bill 246 called foran important curriculum change the emphasis on local community studies in Grades Two and Three and the study of Texas histo- ry in Grade Four. (Texas history was, of course, still taught in Grade Seven.) A matching grant from the Texas Committee for the Humanities helped underwrite thecost of producing Teaching Texas History: An All-Level Resource Guide. The present revision of the expanded Guide is its second. In 1989, with the help of Jane Manaster, who compiled relevant materials published since 1985, and Dr. Barbara E Immroth, then associate professor at UT's Graduate School of Library and Information Science, who updated her "Fiction and Nonfiction Works about Texas for Juveniles,"we published the first revision, adding several new sections and more than three hundred entriesnot included in the 1985 edition. For the current 1996 edition Jane Manaster again worked withus, contacting more than one hundred publishers regarding their materials relevant to Texas history teachers. This edition dif- fers from its predecessors in several ways: the sectionon i6mm films was eliminated, videocas- settes having made films irrelevant in most classrooms; the section on "Traveling Museum 6 teaching texas history * Exhibits" was dropped, these items being too costly foruse in the typical classroom; and, a num- ber of additions were made to the Guide to reflect the tremendous advance in technologymade over the past few years. The section on videocassettes has enjoyed an increase of almostexponen- tial proportion. The Internet section, which issure to undergo a similar rate of increase in future editions, is another significant additionto this edition. A note on the Guide's organization.

  • The Lone Star State
    Texas: The Lone Star State By Cynthia A. Malecki "Texas, Our Texas! All hail the mighty State! Texas, Our Texas! So wonderful, so great! Boldest and grandest, withstanding ev'ry test, Empire wide and glorious, you stand supremely blest." 1st stanza of the Texas state song They say that everything is big in Texas–big farms, big ranches, big cities, big money, and even big hair. Texas is the biggest of the 48 contiguous U.S. states, with 267,277 square miles (692,244 square km), which is bigger than the 14 smallest states combined.(1) It is approximately 850 miles (1,370 km) from north to south and from west to east. The biggest ranch in Texas is The King Ranch in Kingsville, which is larger than the state of Rhode Island. The cities of Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio are among the nation's ten largest. The Port of Houston handles more foreign cargo than any other U.S. port. Texas is the second largest producer of electronic components in the U.S. and the nation's second leading exporter. Worldwide television viewers might remember the TV show "Dallas" featuring the Ewing family who lived on the South Fork Ranch in Dallas, Texas. Weekly shows featured the extravagant lifestyle of oil barons and their wives with big hair. (Usually found in the southern United States, big hair is the result of combing the hair and spraying it to produce a hairstyle puffed up two or three times its normal volume and capable of withstanding even the strongest winds.) Former Texas governor Ann Richards even declared an official Texas Big Hair Day in 1993.

Recognized today as a historic cartographic feature, this road appeared in different ways on nineteenth century printed published maps over time, and in the mid-to-late nineteenth centu- ry was reduced from a route to a fragment. This study is the first to examine the portrayal of the Trace as a historic cartographic feature, how it was presented to the general public, how its portrayal changed over time, and why it appears on the maps at all. In addition, this study is the first to use geographic information systems (GIS) to analyze the presentation of the Trace on printed, published maps.
