"In Texas, A Guide to the Lone Star State, all these elements have been linked together to form a picture of the State as it is. There are 15,000 miles of tours telling the motorist where to go, what to see, and how to get there. Tours take you to places where you can fish or hunt in unspoiled streams and forests, as well as to inspect the old missions, the modern cities and ranches, and the Little Mexicos. Sixty-four pages of gravure illustrations make up a composite portrait of the State's people and natural setting, and 31 maps make travel through city and country easy for the driver"--Jacket flap.
