Dr. Jordan's [book] makes this clear and is a valuable contribution to Texana., . . . an eminently readable book . . . in its recording of the adaptation of a transplanted human population to a new environment., Detailed with maps, charts and pictures, the book is excellent reading for many Texans whose ancestors came to Texas direct from Europe.
