Abstract

Southwestern Historical Quarterly January book is the placement of these laws and important cases within their historic and cultural context. Literally hundreds of statutes and cases are referenced, but the author himself admits that many topics of interest to historians and legal scholars are briefly covered if at all. Ariens succeeds, however, with a remarkably broad and cogent narrative of the topics he does cover. He accomplishes his objective without "mythologizing" Texas law or avoiding controversial subjects. Although the book would benefit lawyers, it is appropriate and clearly written for anyone interested in Texas legal history. It is the third in the American Liberty & Justice Series published by Texas Tech University Press. The narrative is documented with fifty pages of footnotes and a lengthy bibliography and index. A foreword by Gordon Morris Bakken, professor of history at California State University, Fullerton, and editor of the series, appropriately concludes with these words: "Michael Ariens gives the reader a sense of how people mattered in the evolution of the rule of law. Remember, the chef knows what went into the sauce. That is the secret of place, but in Lone Star Law Ariens excises the ingredients of law and
