The
HANDBOOK
ofTEXAS
1KW'Volume III, the 1976 supplement
to the classic Handbook
of Texas, is a must for any
owner of the first two volumes.
The Handbook is incomplete
and out of date without it"
When the Texas State
Historical Association published
the first two volumes
of the Handbook of
Texas in 1952 it was immediately
hailed as "the best
systematic work of reference
on any of the fifty
United States." The Handbook
continues to be, in
the words of one critic,
"The cornerstone of every
Texas collection ... The
place where all research inTexas studies begins ...
The definitive encyclopedia
of our state." Volume
III of the Handbook, a
supplement and update
published in 1976, corrected
errors in the first
two volumes, updated
many articles, and added
new articles on topics ranging
from prehistoric Texas
to the present. Arranged alphabetically for easy reference,
the Volume III Supplement
serves as an index
to all three volumes and
brings the 1952 edition
several decades further
along. Volume III, A
Supplement, is an indispensable
part of the Handbook.
