What brought the author's family to Texas? What is it about Texas that for centuries has exerted a powerful allure for adventurers and scoundrels, dreamers and desperate souls, outlaws and outliers? In search of answers, Hodge travels across his home state - which he loves and hates in shifting measure - tracing the wanderings of his ancestors into forgotten histories along vanished roads. Here is an unsentimental, keenly insightful attempt to grapple with all that makes Texas so magical, punishing, and polarizing.

I'm a native Texan living in Florida, and was fascinated by this story which might have included my own ancestors. I didn't feel quite confident of the narrator, though, even if he did get through the toughest words. I thought I knew Texas geography pretty well, but the book seemed to skip around the state. I was most interested in the reports of current border patrol efforts, since I have been from El Paso to Juarez. The book seemed to back up my hunch that a 5.7 billion dollar wall is the last thing Texas needs!
