In slightly over two decades ten individuals--their words, actions, and accomplishments--come to define the New Texas of the twenty-first century. While the history of Old Texas rests on oft-told legends of Houston, Austin, Travis, Crockett, Rusk, Lamar, and Seguin, today's New Texas--proud, loud, self-promotional, sports-crazy, and too rich for its own good--is the Texas that percolates throughout the nation's popular culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn\u003ci\u003e Texas Loud, Proud, and Brash: How Ten Mavericks Created the Twentieth-Century Lone Star State, \u003c\/i\u003eauthor Rusty Williams profiles ten largely unsung men and women responsible for the Texas you love, hate, and (secretly) envy today.\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWriter-historian \u003cb\u003eRusty Williams\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eRed River Bridge War: A Texas-Oklahoma Border Battle\u003c\/i\u003e (Texas A\u0026amp;M Press, 2016), which won the Oklahoma Book\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eAward and was named the Outstanding Book on Oklahoma History of 2016 by the\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eOklahoma Historical Society.
