A Single Star and Bloody Knuckles
Bill Minutaglio knows what he’s talking about. A journalist, teacher, and observer of Texas politics with more than four decades of experience, Minutaglio’s latest book—his tenth—is arguably his most ambitious, both in scope and degree of difficulty. As the author puts it, A Single Star and Bloody Knuckles is an attempt to “corral the evolution of the state’s politics” and “find some influential folks amid the thunderclaps” of Texas history from …
N ancy B eck Y oung . Two Suns of the Southwest
Nancy Beck Young is not the first historian to recognize the 1964 presidential election as a watershed in the history of modern American politics. The contest between Barry Goldwater and Lyndon Johnson has been central to just about every study of partisan realignment, liberalism, or modern conservatism published during the past three decades. Goldwater’s status as a prophet of the New Right, despite the irony of his massive rejection at the poll…
Nuclear Country
Catherine McNicol Stock's Nuclear Country argues that Americans' “experience of militarization and nuclearization” during the Cold War “were the historical developments most essential to the creation of the Rural New Right” (pp. 14–15). Stock is not the first historian to advance that idea, and she is careful to acknowledge the importance of other factors. But making her argument fresh is the way she reframes that “experience” within the longer h…
The Dukes of Duval County
Anthony R. Carrozza is not the first author to examine George Parr's infamous efforts to steal Texas's 1948 Senate election for then-congressman Lyndon B. Johnson. That story has been well chronicled by others and is familiar to almost anyone interested in twentieth-century American political history. Parr—also known as the Duke of Duval County—functioned as a sort of political boss in south Texas, stuffing ballot boxes and generally flouting law…
The Great Melding
This book lacks subtlety and nuance. But, to a large degree, that is its author’s ultimate point. For Glenn Feldman, the origins of modern American conservatism cannot be found in the complicated and ever-changing landscape of suburbanization and morphing Sunbelt identities. It did not come about as the result of Texans’ or midwesterners’ migration to California and the West (or the religious sensibilities that came with them), and it was not the…

The English Parliaments of Henry VII, 1485–1504
Cowboy Conservatism
This book is about political change as it evolved in one of America's largest and most important states during the tumultuous seventeen-year period between John F. Kennedy's assassination in Dallas and Ronald Reagan's ascension to the presidency in 1980. Partisan realignment is the most obvious aspect of that change. Texas was once as solidly Democratic as any state in the nation. By the end of the twentieth century, it was among the most solidly…
Loyalty and the usurper
The modern assessment of Henry VII's use of bonds and recognizances to control the behaviour of his subjects is based upon incomplete evidence. This article focuses on new material from The National Archives of the U.K. to begin an analysis of the early Tudor deployment of bonds to address disloyalty and conspiracy. Memoranda of bonds agreed in chancery indicate that Henry VII quickly adopted such tools of enforcement to confront the backlash aga…
