Interesting Books about Texas

I’m pondering the possibility of offering a summer school class titled “Religion in San Antonio” next year. So, I’ve decided that I want to learn a bit about my, eh, adopted (?) state. Here’s a list of books I want to read soon-ish.

• Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth by Brian Burrough, Chris Tomlinson, and Jason Stanford
• In the Loop: A Political and Economic History of San Antonio by David R. Johnson.
• Big Wonderful Thing: A History of Texas by Stephan Harrington

Potentially, I might add Lone Star: A History of Texas And The Texans by T.R. Fehrenbach.
