The Big Bend - A history of the last Texas Frontier
Tyler RC. 1975. The Big Bend - A history of the last Texas Frontier. National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior
This book is an account of human society in one of the most rugged and remote parts of this country, Big Bend. This book combines an understanding of the region’s physical setting with a clear description of its exploration and settlement, a story which has been virtually lost in recent decades. Not a guide book, it will nevertheless conduct you through 400 years of Big Bend history. Together, photos and text bring us a new vision of the Mexican boundary and the startling world of the Big Bend.
