Speedy Publishing's Texas History Collection is a 15-book series written for students in grades 6-8. It offers a comprehensive journey through Texas’s history from prehistoric times to the present day. Beginning with Natural Texas & Its People, the series explores how Native Americans adapted to the land before European contact. It then covers the Age of Contact, highlighting the arrival of Spanish and French explorers. It moves into the Spanish Colonial Era, where Spain attempted to establish control over the region.
The collection also examines the Mexican National Era, the Texas Revolution, and the challenges the Republic of Texas faced. As Texas joined the United States, the Early Statehood and Civil War books focus on westward expansion and Texas’s role in the Confederacy. The Reconstruction Era details the social and political upheaval following the Civil War.
In later books, students learn about the economic growth of the Cotton, Cattle, & Railroads era and the transformation brought about by the discovery of oil in the Age of Oil. The series continues with the Great Depression, the impact of World War II on Texas, and the struggles for equality during the Civil Rights Era. Finally, Contemporary Texas explores modern changes and challenges as the state evolves.
This series provides students with an engaging and detailed look at Texas’s past, linking historical events to the state's present-day identity.
