Book Description
The threat of terrorism notwithstanding, the world has never been more traveler friendly as it is today. For example, one can pick up a university education in some corner of the earth and practice it elsewhere without undue difficulties. In Far Country Chronicles : A Texan¿s Perspective, we see how far this idea can be stretched by Jack Everton, whose amazing life saw him leave his native Texas and spend a substantial part of his life outside the United States, with many details of his experiences retold here. Best of all, the entire narrative comes spiced with good old Texas humor, as good as any Texan worth his salt can dish out.

Orange County Chronicles
Author: Phil Brigandi
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 162584588X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Orange County is one of the best-known, yet least understood, counties in California. The popular image of beautiful people in beach cities is certainly accurate. But the Orange County that is often overlooked includes workaday lives in Anaheim, the barrios of Santa Ana, townhouse living in Brea and the diverse communities of Little Saigon, Little Texas, Los Rios, La Habra and Silverado Canyon. Modern Orange County offers very little sense of history, and it sometimes seems as if the urbanization of the 1960s is all that defines the place. Orange County historian Phil Brigandi fills in the gaps with this collection of essays that explores the very creation of the county, as well as pressing issues of race, citrus, attractions and annexation.
