Texas is unique, not only because it is the only state to enter the Union by way of a treaty, but because a clause in that treaty gives Texas the right, in perpetuity, to divide into as many as five separate states. These "Five States of Texas" reflect the remarkable geographic variety of this vast landscape. From the plains and mountains, beaches and deserts, forests and rugged canyons, Laurence Parent captures the beauty of the Texas landscapes, places, and people that are as diverse as its many-faceted culture.

Portrait of a State

Designed by Santiago Calatrava, the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge crosses the Trinity River in Dallas. A forty-story center-support arch tops off the curved center span.

Situated in Travis County in the Hill Country, Hamilton Pool was officially designated a preserve in 1990. The pool was created when the roof of a cavern collapsed thousands of years ago. A fifty-foot waterfall flows into the pool.
