While in Bandera, Texas over the Labor Day weekend, I read a great book that I would highly recommend. Empire of the Summer Moon - Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History by S.C. Gwynne. Part history of the Comanche nation, part history of the Southern Plains, part history of Texas - - after you read the book, driving across the San Saba River will feel a little different as you read about the San Saba Massacre of 1758.
If you are going to recommend a book about Texas, you also have to recommend a bar in Texas. My choice is the 11th Street Cowboy Bar in Bandera. Check out the bra collection over the bar.
