Texas Study Links & Resources
This is a specialized collection of personal study links and resources. The links here concentrate on Texas in general with an emphasis on East Texas history.
The study links are annotated. When possible, the page description is a direct quote from the author/webmaster. The links are currenty divided into two sections: county specific pages and general pages. When an attraction or museum is listed, the county in which it lies will be noted. Following the study links you will find a list of resources that will take you to companies and webpages from which I have bought outdoor gear and/or used their information to help me plan visits to certain places.
