Críticas:

Richard Zelade has devoted a lifetime to the most storied region in Texas. He does not only teach us about the places, personalities, history, and culture that has branded the Hill Country with its timeless allure, he teaches us at the same time to love it. I know of no guide book born of such intelligence, knowledge, heart, and passion. -- David Marion Wilkinson, author of Not Between Brothers and One Ranger ....The new 6th Edition is not only updated, but bigger and better. Even though I've lived in Central Texas for 40 years, I wouldn't travel the Texas Hill Country without it. -- Ted Siff, an Austin publisher, conservationist, parks advocate, and former president of Texas Monthly Press from 1977-1980 The geography and history of the Texas Hill Country is endlessly fascinating.... A tireless prospector of Texas regional knowledge (as well as a clever phrase-spinner), Richard Zelade has no equal. -- Jesse Sublett III, author of numerous crime novels and works of nonfiction, founder of the Skunks, and fifth generation Texan ....This is truly the one complete guide for anyone interested in exploring the rich tapestry of the region. Whether you're an armchair traveler or a serious day tripper, this book will give you a new understanding of how the West was won. -- Gerald E. McLeod, a leading authority on exploring Texas and author of the "Day Trips" column in The Austin Chronicle since 1991

Reseña del editor:

Formerly a part of the popular Lone Star Guide to the Texas Hill Country, Central Texas now gets its own treatment in this up-to-date guide that includes history, folklore, and geography; detailed listings of lodgings, restaurants, and entertainment; major attractions, including state parks, museums, and historic places; directions, days and hours of operation, addresses, and phone numbers; and maps and calendar of events. Five tours take you from the Balcones Escarpment to "Central Texas Stew," a region of the state largely settled by Czechs and Germans in the early twentieth century.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
