{"product_id":"9781493064397","title":"Texas Loud, Proud, and Brash","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe history of New Texas, the Texas we know today—oil-rich, insufferably loud, and unbearably proud of itself—begins in the late 1920s, when a horned frog wakes from its thirty-one-year nap in a courthouse cornerstone and flabbergasts the nation. In slightly over two decades ten individuals—their words, actions, and accomplishments—come to define the New Texas of the twenty-first century. While the history of Old Texas rests on oft-told legends of Houston, Austin, Travis, Crockett, Rusk, Lamar, and Seguin, today’s New Texas—proud, loud, self-promotional, sports-crazy, and too rich for its own good—is the Texas that percolates throughout the nation’s popular culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn\u003ci\u003e Texas Loud, Proud, and Brash: How Ten Mavericks Created the Twentieth-Century Lone Star State, \u003c\/i\u003eauthor Rusty Williams profiles ten largely unsung men and women responsible for the Texas you love, hate, and (secretly) envy today.\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rusty Williams","offers":[{"title":"Globe Pequot |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2023-08-01","offer_id":46012099985663,"sku":"9781493064397","price":31.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_3eda081e-bdc7-40a2-a8e4-4acbf0138e44.jpg?v=1723107926","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781493064397","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
