'Under Six Flags: The Story of Texas' is a comprehensive account of the state's development, tracing its origins to the French explorer René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle's failed colony in 1685. The book captures the shifting political landscape of Texas, moving through the periods of Spanish and Mexican rule, and culminating in the Texan Revolution and its ultimate independence.
