    The
      Era of the Missons Texas Lore Volumes
      11 & 12 by Patrick M. Reynolds  
      American textbooks mention Columbus
      and Coronado, then jump to the English colonies along the east
      coast, but omit the rest of the continent. Volume Eleven concentrates
      on this neglected era when the French and Spanish were trying
      to control the continent with Texas as the key. The early settlement
      of Texas is marked by greed, conflict, and intrigue, culminating
      in the ridiculous "Chicken War." Volume Twelve
      contains a variety of stories such as: the founding of Fort Worth,
      Jay Gould's railroad, the German Comanche, the Greek pirate of
      Galveston, the Chinese in El Pase, towns with unique names, etc.
