This analysis uses
Lone Star: a History of Texas and the Texans
(updated edition), by T.R. Fehrenbach as the (troublesome) source for
Texas history. For Wisconsin history, the analysis uses Wisconsin: a History (second edition), by
Robert C. Nesbit (revised and updated by William F. Thompson).
This
analysis will not only compare the two states’ respective
histories, but also effectively be reviews of the two sources.
The
format of this analysis will be as follows. A topic will be stated,
followed by three entries: Both, Texas, and Wisconsin. The “Both”
entry will summarize what
both books say about their respective states, if what they say is
essentially the same. The “Texas” and “Wisconsin” entries
will cover information that is unique to each state. Exceptions will be noted.
As topics are posted, each of the below entries will be a hyperlink to that blog post.
