"Imperial Texas" examines the development of Texas as a human region, from the simple outline of the Spanish colony to the complex patterns of the modern state. In this study in cultural geography set into a historical framework, D.W. Meinig, professor of geography at Syracuse University, discusses the 'various people of Texas, who they are, where they came from, where they settled, and how they are proportioned one to another from place to place'. After examining the historical framework, he then presents detailed analyses of the major regions of modem Texas and an over-all characterization of the state and its people. He concludes that, although Texas has never been the empire that it has sometimes been called, 'nevertheless...Texas is something more than just one-fourteenth of the American area, one-twentieth of the American people, and one-fiftieth of the American union'.
