Ifyou want to learn about Texas, you'll love this book.

Its hard to imagine what Texas would be like without its Czech influence. This book does a great job of telling the story of our Czech ancestors.

Growing up Czech in Texas

This book does a great job of covering all aspects of the Czech experience in Texas. The book is mostly biography with social and cultural history thrown in, which makes sense becasue the author was a sociology professor at Texas A & M. He writes in an easy to read, conversational style that realy draws you in. Reading this book is kind of like listening to older folks talk about the good old days - and I truly mean that as a compliment.
