Texas Blood: Seven Generations Among the Outlaws, Ranchers, Indians, Missionaries, Soldiers, and Smugglers of the Borderlands

Texas Blood is a captivating and insightful history of the Texas borderlands, spanning seven generations of Roger D.

Hodge's ranching family.

Through his travels across the state, Hodge uncovers forgotten histories and sheds light on the brutal colonization, conquest, and genocide that have marked the region's past.

This book is a poignant exploration of what it means to be Texan, and why the ranching industry that has sustained families like Hodge's for almost two centuries is quickly fading away.

With its unsentimental and insightful approach, Texas Blood is a triumph that will resonate with both Texans and non-Texans alike.
