The Lone Star State This is Texas-mighty empire of the Southwest. It sprawis huge across the map, a land of forest and desert, of fertile fields and jagged mountians, of rolling prairies, great sleepy rivers, and wide Gulf beaches. It is a land of superlatives - greatest in production of oil, greatest grower of cotton. In Texas the past and the present meet - booted cowboy riding the range - last of the great ranches - sombreroed Mexican dozing - ancient missions - great trading centers - seaports - skyline and vast distances broken only by tall oil derricks |
