Metz, known by his peers as a meticulous researcher, has done a monumental job of fact assembly to fill this fast-paced volume. He begins with highlight "Facts About Texas"--geography, highway system, chronology. Comes next a 24-page history of the state, with the conclusion, 'Unearthing that (Texas) past and enriching your present is the purpose of this book. So get behind the wheel and let's drive.' He has divided the state into eight regions, each section is preceded with a review of the geology of the area to be reviewed, its flora and fauna, and targeted history. Then comes concise reports on the region's cities, towns and hamlets.With no wasted words the history of each is mentioned, the derivation of its name in most cases, sights to see, places to visit. The author certainly has had his eyes on Texas."--Wallace E. Clayton, The Tombstone Epitaph
